Why would you switch a light off if you smelled gas?"Fuck me - I can smell gas. Let's make it more exciting by fumbling around in the pitch darkness".

Probably because a lot of people remember from the advert not to switch a light on if they smell gas ... and assume therefore that the light must cause the explosion. Thus, the first instinct would be to turn off the light ...
My mother would SO have done this. She did something similar in thinking she'd fused all the electrics by turning a thermostat in the dark and seeing a spark. The fact that half the lights and TV were still on did not reassure her at all, until I went all GCSE Physics on her.
