The article does have a point. On airplanes we have highly flammable fuel. It's safe because it is contained. The same could be done with the hydrogen in an air

Jet fuel, kerosene (intermediate in weight, viscosity, and volatility between petrol and diesel fuels) is remarkably inert for something that burns. You can extinquish a match in it.
