Sure, it makes a "very forceful explosion" when confined. It's not the same scenario, though.

  The context of this discussion was "hydrogen balloons" so that is the same scenario literally.

    You put it in balloons in science class, and not in a test tube?

      Yup. Chemical reaction to create hydrogen and had it fill a balloon over lunch. One of the other students got to explode it with a match taped to a meter stick. I could feel the air rushing by when it exploded. It was also quite loud but no big fire ball or anything.

        Your high school was way better than mine.
