How to make hydrogen airships safe.
1> Suspend the gondola / cargo etc. 200 m below the lift balloons to keep them away from explosions.
2> Carry a cargo-sized parachute, perhaps with powered deployment assistance, on the gondola.
That way, if it goes bang, you don’t get fried, and you get to coast to the ground. Helps if you fly high.
