That's what I meant. The guys doing the actual work probably weren't thinking, "Hmm. This might be really dangerous for me."

Not just dangerous for the observers, but the tests spread nuclear fallout all over the place and basically irradiated huge swathes of the country depending on the weather patterns.

That's eventually why above ground nuclear testing was banned, because a (kind of creepy) scientific survey found that children born after the tests had really high levels of dangerous radioactive isotopes in their system compared to pre-testing kids.
