Of all the explosive gases, hydrogen is not the worst. It floats, and it's combustion products tend to be less toxic. I really don't think rocketry experiences inform commercial aviation choices.
Has the hydrogen storage associated with spaceflight been responsible for significant explosions. Flight vessels are made as thin walled as possible for a reason. Land bound containers don't have the same weight penalty.
