Excluding catastrophic tank failure I don't think hydrogen would be
more of a problem than  propane.

 
Typical propane tank pressure: 100-200psi [1]
 
Typical hydrogen tank pressure (for cars): 350 - 700bar which is 5,000 -
10,000 psi [2]
 
A 5k to 10k psi tank rupture will impart much more kinetic energy into
the shrapnel thrown off than a 100-200 psi tank rupture will impart. And
that ignores the impact of the pressure wave created by the
decompression of the stored gas itself.

'Excluding catastrophic failure' includes rupturing. By that I meant
hydrogen leaks will be more likely to disperse rather than a heavier than
air gas that is prone to pooling.
