Why doesnt hydrogen gas combust around us?

majority of air is actually nitrogen, hydrogen is found bonded to almost everything and is also in its gas state bonded with itself. It does combust when you light a match, its just too spread out to blow us all up just like oxygen. When condensed or provided as a sample it is most likely pure and should NOT be near a flame, and this includes reactions that give off hydrogen gas.
