uh...how many cars in accident have you seen that just burst into flames and burn up? The problem with hydrogen is that the flash point is insanely low. Too little humidity will cause static discharge...kaboom! And when the hydrogen is escaping at 5000 psi or higher...do you really want to be in its path? I'm thinking not...
