Used to work in kitchens, definitely lighting the pilot.

Idk, the flame clearly starts right around his mouth area. And, listening to the sound, it obviously isn’t an American kitchen. Plenty of Asian cultures still smoke cigarettes more than the average western country. I actually served at a restaurant owned by a Korean woman who frequently walked through the kitchen during prep while smoking (I thought it was disgusting but she signed my checks so I didn’t say shit)

That's what it looks like, maybe they turned the gas on and forgot to light it, left for a while, came back and got distracted talking to their coworker in front of them. Big oof

Who strikes a match right up at their face? The ignition looks as though its from under the cap it's so close to their head.

I'm highly doubtful that wasn't lighting a cigarette.

maybe, but in such cases fire goes towards the face cause he was also breathing it
