What is the risk of an explosion if pilot light on water heater goes out?
When pilot light goes out, gas flows out of the pilot light nozzle. If out has continued for a long time, a gas cloud can develop around the furnace. When you go to light the pilot light, you'll ignite this gas cloud and make a big fire ball. If your basement is drafty, you might never get a huge cloud of gas hovering around your furnace. When you notice that your pilot light is out, you should shut off the gas to the furnace and allow any stray gas to dissipate before you turn the gas back on and light the pilot light. alliedallcityinc.com

How does a thermocouple pilot light work in a gas appliance?
A thermocouple pilot light works by generating a small electric current when heated by the pilot flame in a gas appliance. This current keeps a valve open to allow gas to flow, maintaining the pilot light. If the pilot light goes out, the thermocouple cools down, causing the valve to close and prevent gas leaks.
