Gas giants

The other night, i was watching some doco on the planets. Which got me wondering about the gas giants. Specifically the hydrogen atmosphere.

This is probably a silly question and i'm sure there must be a simple answer, but if Saturn is about 75% hydrogen and Jupiter is about 90% hydrogen, you would think one spark and we would have ourselves a rather large bang?
