Oxygen is a non-flammable gas due to the fact that it does not burn. But oxygen is needed for burning to take place; that is, oxygen support combustion. The primary hazard for oxygen is as an oxidizer. As an oxidizer, oxygen vigorously accelerates combustion. Because of this, a minimum of twenty feet must be maintained between oxygen and other combustible material or else, the oxygen container can explode if ignited.

How can you get stronger
777dan777 [17]

To get stronger physically, it's important to keep a regular exercise routine. This will keep your muscles working. As you continue with the regular exercise sessions, gradually increase the Intensity and Frequency of your exercises. This will prevent your muscles from "getting used" to your workouts and keep them growing. Make sure to be careful and not push yourself. If you feel pain, slow down! Make sure to stretch and complete a warm-up before the session and a cool-down after the session.
