In the event of a detonation in your proximity, you MUST open your mouth to equalise the pressure of the detonation wave between your eardrums and mouth as it approaches you.Originally posted by DimPrawnI'd obviously wrap myself in tin foil and hold my breath at the same time to prevent harm from the radiation.
Otherwise you will increase your chance of having a perforated eardrum and risk permament deafness.
That's why you say the old army adage (in the event of a gas attack or similar detonation: "Be in time, mask in nine [seconds]" shouting "GAS GAS GAS" to evacuate the gas as you put on your NBC mask.
Then breath normally. FFS! after all that? I'd be lucky enough not to smell the shit in my underwear...If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.Comment
