Some R12 substitutes are highly flammable. With a very slow leak, no big deal, with a catastrophic leak it's similar to releasing 2 pounds of propane gas. I've seen video but never first hand. I'm not sure if this applies to Freeze 12. I do use Freeze 12 and work under the assumption that its both toxic and flammable, and take precautions accordingly when charging or servicing. I'm not sure it is as efficient as R12, but it works.
