The average guy can handle gasoline without killing himself.
The same cannot be said of hydrogen.

Completely correct. When Lockheed's "Skunk Works" thought about building a Mach 3+ reconnaissance plane fueled by a rocket engine that used liquid hydrogen fuel back in the middle 1950's, the mere suggestion to the Burbank Fire Department that Lockheed was going to have small tanks of liquid hydrogen at the Lockheed factory in Burbank terrified the Burbank FD, given how massive an explosion of liquid hydrogen can be. Interestingly, while that project was shelved, Lockheed sold the cryogenic pumps it developed to Convair, which in turn used it on what became the Atlas rocket.
