Yikes !

Very uncommon for that to occur with such a small diameter hose that really doesn't use any 'real pressure' !  I would think that you merely had a 'BAD' Hose and you were 'unlucky'.  Also, I notice you didn't mention anything regarding 'Back Flash Arrestors'.  If you don't use em' GET THEM'....  They would have saved any degree of 'burn-off' and you likely wouldn't have been burnt as the flame leapt through the hose.  The arrestor would have sealed shut as soon as there was any degree of 'burn-back'.  I think you'll be plenty safe, once that is taken care of....

Cheers,

/Jman...
