But here's a cool story about jumping on a grenade, in 2008 some Royal Mari es were approaching a Taliban Compound at night, one guy hit a trip wire, he took his back pack off and put it over the grenade, he was launched several feet into the air by the grenade. Thing is he lived, he had ruptured Ear Drums, his ruck, the electronics inside, and his body armor, absorbed the blast, almost everyone else in the squad was fine, he was ok too, cut up, and a terrible headache. The medic was like "Holy fuck we need to evacuate you dude, you just survived a fucking grenade" but suggested that the Taliban heard the explosion, and so they laid in wait, ambushing the Taliban. Dude earned a George Cross.

Sorry if this was a weird tangent but it semi related to the topic
