Royal Marine survives jumping onto grenade to save comrades
He refused to be evacuated for medical treatment, and an hour later shoots a Taliban insurgent. Will take time out from polishing huge brass balls to receive George Cross from the Queen. picked by tigertony 1 year ago

That's basically right... It says the grenade was fused for 7 seconds and had a casualty radius of 5 metres, so it would be possible to just pick it up and throw it far away.

The problem with that is, you dont know how long of those 7 seconds you have left... you can either dive for cover, or pick the damn thing up and hope it doesn't go off beside your head while yer trying to throw it...

u don;t do the full arm back and launch type of throw.. this is the one time where it is ok to do the lil wussie pick up and flick from the hip real quick like.. kinda like if u were playing rock paper scissors against a midget and you were holding ur hand down at his level and you throw paper and release the grenade right as u open ur hands..

(I do not condone throwing paper or grenades at midgets)

Did you ever see The Kingdom? (Yes it's just a movie but) Jamie Fox kicks out the windshield grabs the nade and tosses it under the next car. It's intense. Good movie, about terrorism and Saudi Arabian policy. I recommend it.

As it was a booby trap, I'm guessing it may have been inside a room - hence nowhere to throw it.

What made me laugh was that it was him who set off the booby trap in the first place, lol.

When I read this I wondered how much of his actions was concern for his fellow soldiers and how much was self-preservation. What I mean is, if he'd have just stood there and done nothing then it'd have blown his ass up but what he did was throw his backpack on top then himself on his backpack to stifle the blast.

Not to detract from what he did but it just made me think...
