Compressed hydrogen is dangerous, yes. But, the Hindenburg and other airships have given the public a false impression that it is much more dangerous than it is. People will gladly get into a car powered by exploding gasoline, but will have great fears/reservations of getting into a car powered by exploding hydrogen, even though it is really not more dangerous than the exploding gasoline (as that is essentially how cars are powered). And no, not everyone would react this way, but a lot of people do. But the thing is, much less hydrogen has to be used as fuel than gasoline (and other fuels commonly used), so the net effect is that using hydrogen is not much more dangerous than other fuels in most applications.
