Pressurized explosive gases are dangerous. Your propane task isn't part of a multi-ton vehicle traveling at high speeds that may be subject to a high speed crash at any random point in time.

A hydrogen tank that is part of your car, however, may be subject to a high speed crash coming in at a random angle.

BBQ grill propane tanks can explode, but they are typically stored on porches, an environment where they are not often hit by SUVs.

So are lithium ion batteries. Here's an article on a recent Tesla burn:

I wasn't arguing that hydrogen wasn't dangerous, I was arguing that a hydrogen tank was easier to swap than a 1200 lb. battery.
