Kidding aside, I'd consider it. The chance of fire seems pretty low, and the amount of refrigerant low enough that even if it did leak out and catch on fire, shouldn't do much damage.

Lol thanks. However, if this video is real, I disagree that there isn’t enough refrigerant in the system to do much damage in the unlikely scenario where all of the gas leaks out into a confined space.
I think that the most dangerous (although extremely unlikely) scenario would be if the evaporator bursts while the car is parked and fills the car with flammable gas. Then the owner of the car gets in and starts it without knowing anything happened, and the spark from the ignition switch ignites the gas, causing an explosion while the driver is in the car. Again, I think that would be very unlikely though.
