Come on! Not much chance of that with a properly designed system. I'm sure cost benefit analysis would show that the money saved by using H2 would more than pay the cost of extra insurance cover. During WW2 we used barrage balloons filled with hydrogen and though plenty of them were shot down I never heard of any catching alight by accident. Frank
