Would he have been better off hitting the tree? Probably?

Outrail posted:Would he have been better off hitting the tree? Probably? Depends on where he hit it. If he hit at certain leverage points(neck, lower back), the whiplash would have been worse. At least the house is something wide enough that his entire upper body hit it at the same time, absorbing some of the impact.

I don't know that I'm really feeling the scadenfreude because some kid in an -istan blew off his hand with a grenade. Is there context to this, like he's a Brony or something?

Judging by the flag and the shirt, it's the Ukraine, and odds are that he pulled the pin off a 'nade thinking he could be a badass by holding down the spoon and put the ring back in but that.. really doesn't work and he's probably incredibly lucky that he only lost his hand.

The fuse doesn't ignite until the spoon flies off because the spoon's what prevents the striker from firing.

I did a reverse image search but most of the links that came up were in Cyrillic. There was also an old GIP thread where they reckoned he most likely tried to throw the grenade away and it detonated just after he threw it, which is why he only lost a hand.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was something like his finger slipped off for a split-second, and he didn't realize it was still about to go off even after he instinctively attempted to clamp back down on it. By the time he realized it and tried throwing it, well...

Phanatic posted:Why does it not? The fuse doesn't ignite until the spoon flies off because the spoon's what prevents the striker from firing. That's a particular Russian grenade design where the spoon pushes off vertically, along the axis of the grenade, instead of swinging out like American grenades. If you don't hold them tight enough and/or at the wrong angle and/or with wet, muddy hands the spoon can pop off unintentionally. radiatinglines posted:um, actually SHUT UP!

This, also it's supposedly difficult to shove the ring back in one handed while also maintaining depression on the spoon.

Is there a significant advantage to the Russian design or is it just a “gently caress you” to people who expect the spoon to do its job?

Grenade story reminds me of all the boot camp grenade schadenfreude videos. Something about handling a potato sized bomb for the first time makes people go from zero to  pretty quick. I imagine it must be kind of nerve wracking to train people with these things. *recruit pulls pin, releases spoon, promptly drops grenade at his feet* *a split second later trainer has already frog jumped into trench. * *recruit just sort of standing there dumbfounded with a  expression on his face**trainer has enough time to realize recruit is still standing there and scrambles over and shot puts idiot into trench, frog jumping into it himself.

And thats' why they usually don't train with live explosives, isn't it? I'm an idiot civvie who couldn't join the military even if he wanted to (US military doesn't want toys that are already broken) so I have no idea how it goes.

I imagine they take as many precautions as possible; I believe their range consists of a trench surrounding the trainer and trainee (think of the outline of a T) and they are supposed to throw the grenade over a wall. So 95% of the places it'll land you're protected by a wall of dirt. But people being I'm sure there's a fair share of close calls.

At least in this one the trainee looks like they know they hosed up and i think maybe even shoves the trainer in first.
