Scary Gas!!

When I saw the picture related to this article it looked pretty Scary. The original title reads "Villager Pulls Massive Bag of Natural Gas", and at first I thought it was a joke having 
something to do with releasing human (natural) gas - until I saw this picture

And I thought to myself "Are you serious?? Is this person really carrying gas around?!" "No he can't be serious, but heck yeah he is!" I never even thought something like this would be possible, but this picture has definitely proved me wrong. In a way I thought it actually looked funny, but thinking of how dangerous what he's doing is made me change my mind. 
The villager in the picture is from the Shandong Village, he's driving an electric scooter and pulling a 6-meter long gigantic plastic bag full of natural gas home to cook food. I would have liked to see the reaction of the nervous passengers as he drove by. According to some Netizens, the Shandong villagers are apparently quite poor, requiring them to transport gas in this sort of way. But others also said it is normal and nothing uncommon, explaining that it's called an air bag, and it's not from a gas station but from a gas well. This has been going on for the past 20 years and sometimes accidents do happen.
