I did hear of someone who had spent a day teaching the correct handling of liquid oxygen. When he had finished and put everything away he relaxed somehow ignited his oxygen soaked overalls.

Erm... The volume in the suit is going to be very small. And O2 isn't flammable! So, in the cigarette example even if you opened the suit and waved the cigarette around, all that will happen is that the cigarette will burn faster. We're not talking about filling the DS with Camping Gaz...
