The flash point of LNG is around 1500 deg F, making it much safer than diesel (flash point around 800 deg F) and much much safer than gasoline (flash point of -50 deg F). Also, if you spill LNG on the ground, it doesn't soak in. It all vaporizes to gas within minutes and can't contaminate the soil. If you spill a little bit on some concrete, it forms into balls that bounce around like BBs and looks really cool. Stay out of the cloud though.
