Hard to tell from the article, but seems that we're talking about 18650s being kept loose in pockets in the latest spate of stories.
Always a bad idea, especially with keys etc.

This one appears to be a case of the battery being inside the device when it vented. The victim said that it was switched off when it happened.
Man... Hope that person is OK.
Not Much in the Article in the way of any Specifics.
This makes it sound like it like it was a Battery inside a mod of some kind...
"The battery wasn't even on, I don't know what happened, it just went off like a Roman candle or something."
But the Picture of the Battery makes it look like it could have been a Lose Battery
But this is all just Speculation.

I've read a bunch of news accounts for batteries venting. The reports are almost all relating to charging, an unprotected battery in a pocket, or something realted to a mech mod. Finally there has been one story about a kid in school with a Smok regulted mod in his pocket and the battery in that vented, so the story goes.
Are there instances where a battery that might have been damaged or is faulty for what ever reason then finally vents spontaneously at a random time with no external cause?

One photo clearly shows a battery and some fabric all burn. No mod or bits of mod anywhere in the image.
The unfortunate states "the battery was not even on".
What does that even mean?
Kinda looks like a loose bat with no case yet again.

In the video, you can see pieces of the device on the ice after it vented.
Yeah... I was Kinda Looking at that.
But couldn't Tell if it was part of the Device? Or something else that may have been in his Pocket?
I sure Wish the Writers who write these Stories would/could include more Detail about what Exactly Happened.
Perhaps "the battery wasn't even on" means it was loose in his pocket, possibly with the mod, which also had a battery in it but was turned off.
Like other articles written by people whose only journalistic skill is knowing how to type, this one has zero relevant information.

That phrase caught my attention too. You don't turn a battery on/off, you turn the device on/off. I suppose some people may call a device a battery. My sis still calls vaping smoking, after 3 years and numerous attempts by me to correct her.

Does she also broil water for tea.
Maybe don't carry batteries in your pocket These people are going to kill vaping 
These people are going to kill vaping 
With him being an electrician I thought we'd get more technical information in his description of events.
Hey this Guy might have Spilled His Guts. And given a 90 Minute Dissertation on Ohm's Law, Battery Chemistry, and the Role that e-Cigarettes play in Regulated Market.
But the 9 Page in-depth article Didn't make it Past the Editors Desk. And this is what they Decided to Run With.
"""""
'These things shouldn't be able to just go off like that. I've been onto Trading Standards as well as the remains of the battery is now with them.'
Mr Bennett has now sought legal advice.
He said: 'It was a scary experience. I turned to ecigs two years ago to quit smoking. Since this happened I haven't touched one and certainly don't intend to,' he added.
Just last week mother Jana Barker was left with horrific burns to her legs after the same brand battery exploded in her handbag while she was in the car with her daughter and husband.
Just weeks earlier, another young woman ended up needing plastic surgery after her EFEST battery combusted in her flat."""""

This one is a regulated mod exploding during some guys vlog :
His explanation :
Vape was a snowwolf 200W. They were NOT two different batteries, running at 40W. The snowwolf 200 has a small tab on the bottom of the back panel for your fingernail to remove the tab. This tab can sometimes slip when putting it back on and jam in between the two battery conductors. This usually arcs between the back panel and the batteries, except this time they overloaded and caught fire. Hope this helps! A little user error, a little design flaw.

I dunno?
It could be that the Person who Contacted Mr. Bennett knew Nothing about e-Cigarettes. So Pertinent and Relevant Questions were Not Asked.
It could have Also have been that when someone Contacted Mr Bennett that he was 7 Ways to Sunday in a Percocet Haze?
Or that he was Following the Advise of Lawyer and saying as Little as Possible.
It's just so Hard to Know what is Going on in Most Things when we are Drip Feed Information by the Media.
All I know is I Hope that Dude is going to be OK. Because Rube or Expert, User Error or Product Failure, Good - Bad - Or Indifferent, that Guy got a Nasty Burn. And the Burn recovery process can be Very Painful.
