You need to do some more research. Hydrogen is 57 times lighter than air, which means in the case of a leak, it disperses almost instantaneously...almost always completely dissipating before having the chance to ignite at all. Rapid depressurization will freeze nearly everything in it's path, minimizing your chances of a heat induced ignition. And unless you're giving it liquid oxygen, you have almost no chance of an explosion.
