Why is it dangerous to light one bunson burner using a second bunson burner?

Karen -- Science is your subject, not high school.
I am reminded of a safety poster, "dont look down the tube of a bunsen burner when lighting"

Using a second lit burner? Well, if you turn it sidways, the gas will not exit the end, but through the air valves, which will burn your hand holding it, and maybe then cause an explosion when you drop it.
