Seriously a hydrogen explosion, would never happen in open air setting, you would have to be in a pretty small enclosed confined space for even enough hydrogen vapour to cause a explosion lol.
Since the explosion happens inside the battery jar, and generally blows its top off spraying acid everywhere, I would say that is a small confined space.
