I have never turned my vehicle off while pumping gas in my life and have yet to have an issue. Especially coming from a Northern state where it gets pretty cold you see a lot of people doing the same thing. What is the potential risk or is it all just a myth?

I don’t believe understand the risks and tradeoffs of a safety rule is an ELI5 level thing. I would advise you don’t understand the risks and consequences of doing something that is considered by experts or regulations to be unsafe, the wise choice is to follow the safety rule or regulations. This is for two primary reasons. It takes far more experience and knowledge to understand the ways an action can lead to injury than to just do that action. I addition, doing something for years without injury is not the same as operating safely. Most unsafe things we can do many times before our luck is likely to run out. We only die once so, until we do, the outcome of all of our unsafe choices has been some amount of lucky. In short, while you’re figuring this out, please turn off your vehicle while fueling it. You can always go back to the old way once you’ve learned more.
