NO, hydrogen is certainly a very dangerous gas. (I had to take all kinds of safety training there, you know, the kind that TERRIFIES YOU AND MAKES YOU WISH YOU WERE A BASKET WEAVING MAJOR) There's actually a video somewhere on the internet where they explode a gasoline car and then explode a hydrogen car. (It's AWESOME.) It's funny mostly because the gasoline car goes up in flames, whereas the hydrogen car shoots one HUGE flame up in the air but otherwise doesn't do anything. I think it was supposed to prove that hydrogen exploding wasn't all that bad because of how they'd designed the car, but I was too busy watching things explode and going "dude, my job rocks."
