...both H2 and CH4 are lighter than air. Small leaks will rapidly dilute and dissipate. Catastrophic failure of a pressure vessel would be a different matter but everything would be released as a gas and again would rapidly dissipate upwards. A liquid fuel like gasoline or diesel spreads out on the roadway or whatever and tends to consume all that lies above it once ignited.
As I see it, if there ever becomes a compelling economic or environmental reason to use H2 as an energy transport medium, we'll figure out safe use. OTOH, I don't expect this to happen in my lifetime...commercial fusion has been about 20yrs off for the last 60 yrs or so.
