That is not the issue.... Flash backs are not very likely with this style of torch,,,,
The main concern that most people have is the a poorly manufactured hose or damaged hose may burst or blow off the brass fitting and spew a huge volume of gas into immediate vicinity causing burn or explosion hazard...
System would more likely need a "anti free low" device on tank valve or connector so if there is sudden release of "back pressure" caused by hose or torch it will automatically shut off fuel flow....
