How do the matches even make contact with the striking surface under the compass with that piece of foam separating them, also, that is supposed to be a water proof compartment, hence, air tight. No oxygen, no fire.

I was a bit confused about this too-

Using a one inch copper cap from Lowes I was able to hammer it down pretty tight on the flashlight so I could still use it and get another free gift. Also you're right, no oxygen no fire however there would be enough inside the container for combustion, at that point the gasses must go somewhere hence, explosion.
