Fires can have pressure waves, but that is not an explosion. And if you do call it an explosion, than there are thousands of gasoline explosions all time.

Are you conflating the terms explosion and detonation? Because you can absolutely have the former without the latter. When a mix of fuel and air between the lower and upper explosion limits for that fuel ignites, you get an explosion. Not all explosions are high order detonations.

Explosions technically imply detonation. But if you are going to call all big fires explosions, then gasoline explodes too. You cannot have it both ways.

Anyways, it's already proven that hydrogen is safer than gasoline because people have actually set them on fire before. You're just fearmongering on this.

You might wish to read up on the definition of "explosion". And I've already commented on those videos.
