Inhaling hydrogen gas?

I don't encourage anyone to breathe hydrogen but I do think that the inside of the lungs is one of the least likely places for sparks or fire to occur.

 

The danger obviously comes when you breathe out an explosive mixture (with half of it still in your lungs)... if anything happens that was not planned the flame will propagate so fast that it will burn you inside and outside. Burning your lungs sounds very lethal to me.

 

I would think that outside is a better option for your experiment, because of good ventilation. Still, cars are very likely to carry a charge, and any object theoretically can unless you're 100% certain it's properly grounded. Static electricity can kill you if you are playing with hydrogen.
