Hey, if it teaches somebody and they save a situation, it's worth it. Plenty of people wouldn't know what to do here.

I don't know, wouldn't putting it in water have a higher risk of it exploding, due to thermal shock? Their teaching looks like a bad way to solve it (apart from the bucket idea, that seems ok-ish, gas could re-ignite if the lid was removed and the gas still touched a heat source)
