So it's not the instant release of gas, by itself, that causes the explosion, it's that the high volume of gas will find the necessary spark in many cases...gotcha...

Yes. When out in the open air it is usually not dense enough to cause the spark, indoors however....

Reminder to take a look outside and familiarize how to turn off gas
