Why do You Have to ‘Get Down’ and Drop on the Floor During a Bombing?
In: Other
When bombs explode there are two major causes of injury. The first is the pressure wave caused by the sudden movement of energy moving the air. The second is shrapnel and debris that shreds people that is moved by the shockwave. Bombs send their shockwave and shrapnel/debris in all directions from the point of explosion. Getting low to the ground means most of that passes over you and you are less likely to be hit.
