I am wondering what "propanene" might be... I can understand propane, propene and acetylene, but it has got me guessing. The "..ane" ending is used for fully saturated hydrocarbons (no double bonds) and the "..ene" ending for unsaturated hydrocarbons with one or more double-bonds. Acetylene is a bit of an old-fashioned name and it is better referred to as ethyne, the ..yne ending signifying triple bond(s).
That clip made me feel quite wobbly and I used to do rock-climbing in my younger days!
