Gas bottle on rear safety?

Hey guys

 

I recently mounted a gas bottle on car with spare tyre & jerry can

Im from SA and couldn't find a law that stated I couldn't mount the gas bottle where it is, anyone know if there is a law against it?

 

And safety reasons, if someone rear ended me would  blow up? 

What's your thoughts

It certainly appears to be a secure installation of the gas bottle, jerry can and spare tyre.

Immediate thought/concern was the visibility of the rear brake lights. 

Following link indicates that the risk of explosion is remote.

That's a serious rig you have there Yianni. I suspect that Hulky spare wheel may offer plenty of robust cushion to any rear impacts. You should be fine mate.
