Left a gas heater on all night?

Surely common sense would make alarm bells ring as soon as any thought of leaving a gas heater on all night thus unattended, popped up?

Glad the kids are ok but the adults should be ashamed of themselves for putting the kids in danger.

Last year we used a gas heater inside the non SIG area to take the chill off before bed. It was always supervised, in the non SIG area with all the ventilation we could give it. It was never on for long and we had a carbon monoxide detector with us just in case (not that there was any real risk due to the way we used it) Common sense dictates you don;t leave one on all the time.

This year we had a fan heater with a knock over cut off, much better (we need a bit of heat at night due to my wifes illness) and a lot lot safer.

I have a little gas heater for when we go non EHU. I would never dream of leaving it on for more than 20 minutes or so. It's the for taking the chill from the tent when the girlfriend and kids want to get changed inside the tent.

To even think about leaving it on all night defies belief. 

How stupid can some people be?
God forbid if something worse had happened to the children - you can bet the parents would then have blamed faulty equipment and be sueing the manufacturers!
