According to Wikipedia:

"Hydrogen gas forms explosive mixtures with air if it is 4-74% concentrated and with chlorine if it is 5-95% concentrated. The mixtures spontaneously explode by spark, heat or sunlight. The hydrogen autoignition temperature, the temperature of spontaneous ignition in air, is 500 °C (932 °F)."

Hydrogen gas is flammable and is dangerous to use, which is why most balloons and dirigibles use non flammable helium instead; so they do not explode into flames similar to the hydrogen filled dirigible: Hindenburg.

Hydrogen is highly flammable, and can act as an asphyxiate. Because hydrogen is also colorless and odorless it is also hard to detect leaks that may occur.
