Hydrogen is very flammable to the point of being explosive under the right conditions. It must be kept away from any open flame, However Hydrogen is also less flammable than gasoline. The auto-ignition-point* of hydrogen is 932 degrees Fahrenheit. The auto-ignition-point* of gasoline is only 536 degrees Fahrenheit.

Hydrogen has no danger to humans, although if you breath in too much it will replace the oxygen and you will suffocate and possibly die.

*Autoignition point is the temperature it takes to ignite or spontaneously combust.
