  1) Mixes of hydrogen and oxygen are highly explosive 2) Hydrogen tends to leak with ease even from metal containers (hydrogen molecules are the smallest). 3) There is a tradition to use lighted candles at birthday parties. 1 + 2 + 3 makes for a disturbing (although admittedly fun) combination. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ce6imsXTkGQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ce6imsXTkGQ
