Like Bryan said, when it leaks it goes up. I worked at Dow Chemical for years 
where we made large quantities of hydrogen. With a little common senses it is 
no big deal to handle.

A major problem with hydrogen is the it is extremely leaky stuff. I 
don't know
if it will go through glass like helium but it requires special 
materials and techniques
to minimize leaks. Fortunately it dissipates straight up very fast.

Hindenberg question:
I've seen hydrogen burn. It has a very faint blue flame that I can't see 
in daylight.
What made all of those brilliant flames that consumed the Hindenberg?
