I think it would be a difficult situation with insurance companies if you need to file a claim. It's made to heat hot tubs

Baptismal pools.
To break the main fuel pipe off at the controller he must have hit it pretty hard with something, or did the union come loose?
shit can definitely happen with a little giant but I dont feel at all uncomfortable or at risk using one, imo its safer than being in an RV and using a propane stove(co2 poisoning) which millions of people do everyday.

In my case, the union came loose because the burner mount was broken. Thought I had tightened it up but the burner was moving because of the motion of the van and caused the union to work loose.

Used one with my Judson, 4HT and propane engine too, for 5 yrs. Only problems I ever had wasthe jets plugging because of the ocean air here. The beauty of it was all it required was water flow and it would turn on. And it would shut off when it got hot. Never over heated, unlike my exhaust hx. I only stopped using it because BC regulations changed and running propane was going to be a real pita. Just servicing the propane engine took an all day trip to the mainland.
Anyone remember the van that blew up from the coolant/exh hx'rs. I can't remember what happened but they darn near took out the entire front end of the van!!

How safer is a diesel heated unit?

the fuel isn't as volatile
when igniters fail, it sprays raw fuel into the fire box.
when/if it does ignite, it'll shoot flame and smoke , but I've never seen a gas build-up "instant" boom-pop like I have w/propane
EDIT TO ADD...."maybe" the less likelihood of "boom-pop" with oil burners is they have a blower that runs continuous .
I'll speculate the blower doesn't allow an over abundance of fuel vapor to build up ...which is where the instant big boom comes from
