    I fell from a height of 3,000 feet. Fortunately, a large explosion on the ground broke my fall. I was falling at terminal velocity when I noticed the explosion and started falling slower until I gently floated back to earth and landed on my feet (!).

    I almost died in a severe car accident in 2018. We flipped the car multiple times and hit a tree. All the while I was asleep and only woke up after everything had happened. I survived without even a scratch. The police and paramedics told me the reason why I survived is because I was asleep and “went with the flow” of the collision. For me personally, being asleep saved my life. 👍

    This is unlikely in small explosive weapons because they are designed to kill via sharpnel not shockwave. ie grenades will not throw you unless you prone on it with armor. This can happen in a big blast afar like chemical plant accident.

    I don't know why none of these studies consider one of the most important factors for running. Rain intensity can get significantly higher over a short amount of time. Running can be the difference between arriving at your destination in a light rain, or in a storm. And this difference dwarves any difference between walking and running in constant intensity conditions.

  • @edi9892
    @edi9892 Před 10 hodinami

    A few things to add: (including personal experience) 1) deflagrations are slower but can maintain the gas pressure for longer. This can be more damaging to people and buildings. Think of it like this: a HE may shatter things but the effect is highly localized to the point that it may turn your foot into red mist, but even your lower leg is mostly there, albeit very much chewed up and your torso is perfectly fine. Now, if you want to destroy a tank or bunker, you want a HE, but when you want to tear down a large building, you’d need to shell it over and over again with HE until you made enough holes in it to collapse. Meanwhile, a single thermobaric shell could pull down the entire building despite the explosion being a deflagration (similarly a single piece of butter is enough to cause a fat explosion that can completely destroy a cabin! Meanwhile throwing a hand grenade into the cabin would leave it standing…). It’s like an insane storm wind rather than a hit with a wrecking ball. If you’re in a bunker that gets hit by an HE shell it may destroy a part of it and you might be relatively safe around a corner, but a thermobaric explosion can cause symptoms similar to the divers disease even though the bunker wasn’t damaged. In addition to this, you shouldn’t underestimate the heat produced and the possibility that the oxygen gets used up, or you’re breathing in hot air that burns your lungs… 2) As hinted above with the example of the mine, there’s a transition between a pressure wave that shreds things and one that propels things. You can use high explosives to propel projectiles, even though they would normally destroy the barrel and the projectile. You simply would need to downscale the propellant and put it in the center of the chamber. This means that when it explodes it has room to expand before hitting the walls or the projectile. If you wonder if that system was ever used: yep! The most famous example is the under-barrel grenade launcher! 3) Most hand grenades kill by fragmentation. They used to have thick walls that provide the fragments and now have thousands of tiny steel balls instead. They may have up to 200g of explosive filler to propel the fragments forward. On the other hand, there are so-called offensive grenades that do not produce many lethal fragments. The most famous example is the Stiehlhandgranate. The thin metal cover pretty much gets atomized in the explosion and the wooden fragments don’t fly that far and impact relatively lightly. Such grenades tend to have more explosives in them as they kill with their blast, but more importantly, they used to be the predecessor of the flashbang… There’s a third type worth mentioning: the Antitank grenade. It contain so much explosive that even without fragmentation they are a danger to whoever is throwing them, as he can’t throw them far enough unless he throws them off a tall building… Most of them have shaped charges that can punch a whole through armor, but only in one direction. Still, the omnidirectional blast is a threat to humans as far as they can be thrown! 4) Humans respond differently to damage. Someone can get knocked over by a blast and stand up and continue to fight only to later realize that he’s actually been hit by multiple shrapnel and one of them was lodged inside his brain (my grandfather was such a case and he lived another 70 years!). Others get stabbed by a tiny knife in the guts once and instantly drop and don’t get up again until they bleed out and then, well they’re dead… Personally, I’ve been exposed to a deflagration with another 100 people. It was merely a firework that exploded rather than producing a huge spark fountain. Despite the distance, I could feel the heat and air pressure. It temporarily blinded me and my ears were ringing. Once I could see again (I could still not hear properly), I noticed that it had pretty much incapacitated everyone around me, though NONE got injured any more than I did, and that included people closer to the explosion. I felt a bit groggy and tried to check myself for injuries and instinctively wanted to leave the place of the accident (even though I didn’t require immediate medical attention nor expected any further threats), but I couldn’t move because of the people around me. Others just kept sitting frozen in place and others were looking at each other and apparently expecting an explanation of what just had happened, or perhaps they were waiting for the show to continue? It was so out of place that they didn’t know what to do.

    5:58 "What happens to human being when exposed to an explosive shockwave?" Low explosive, moderate distance or more = you're getting thrown about and a little scorched. High explosive, anywhere inside blast front? The proper term is ... disassembled; graphically, violently, instantaneously disassembled into gooey chunks that THEN get flung about.
