Is this as dangerous as it seems on the surface, or are those practice duds? Or like would it not detonate in that situation or something?

There are a few different safeties in a shell and they shouldn't prime if they're not launched correctly.

Just curious, in combat, do artillery men wear ear protection? I know those are mortars and those are usually infantry deployed (so probably not them) but wondering.

No that's correct. PPE discipline is often way neglected both in training and in actual combat. You would think when it comes to explosives people would have the sense to wear it but more often they do not, and perplexingly enough, studies have shown that even fewer wear it properly among people who work in areas in or around where the shells actually land.

In "Prometheus", Charlize Theronīs character is running away from a crashing space ship and doesnīt make it because she is running right along the path itīs falling instead of to the side.

It was trapped, likely sedated and moved to a new location to be released. When they're waking up, they're disoriented, confused, and angry and may attack anything that seems out of the ordinary.

We get a lot of bear capture and releases near here and being out of access is really important because they WILL gently caress you up if they see you when they're in that state.
