Hydrgoen gas is lighter than air so if there is a leak the gas extends upward instead on the ground like a liquid. Hydrogen gas is odor free unlike gasoline. besides to get the really nice movie like explosions, you need to add oxygen. I have been driving around on hydrogen hybrid Lancruiser for about year. Used properly it's the safest gas on the Planet! Hydrogen storage is much safer than gasoline.

They frequently have 3000 psi or even slightly more and I have never had a single problem. These tanks are strong. People have their sense of reality too deeply defined from movies.

If they can make scuba tanks that can be reused thousands of times without blowing up (they have something like 1200 psi of air in them), then I'm sure that they can make safe hydrogen tanks. Gasoline vapor is even more explosive than hydrogen gas, and you get a hell of a lot of gasoline vapor when you rupture a gas tank, yet explosions from auto accidents that are caused by exploding fuel from a ruptured tank are extremely rare, despite the location and construction of most fuel tank (thin-gauge metal or, more recently, injection-molded platic).
