The nice thing about a gas oven is that if you turn it off with the physical dial, it's really off. Though I suppose you might get some mechanical problem that results in a leak, which would be bad.
Don't all electrical appliances theoretically have a failure mode where the off switch stops working or where they get stuck in the on position? That's why I unplug my electric kettle when I'm not using it. And hot air poppers actually have no switch, so you just plug them in when you want to turn them on.
