Re safety, when I talked to the founder, he mentioned that they are building really strong tanks for compressed hydrogen with walls way thicker than normally needed for that kind of pressure, so that these tanks could survive high impact. Basically, they are bullet proof. And they weigh more than the fuel itself, iirc Love the idea. Great guys.

As a happy user of an eMotorWorks EV charger (it seems to be a lot of folks from that firm), I'm also confident that they are doing real stuff. However, I would think that they would want to engineer the tanks to minimize slow creeping failures. I would imagine a more likely dangerous situation than impact would be a sudden H2 containment failure that occurs without any impact at all, but due to stress cracks, etc, in the H2 vessel.
