Dudes hands are gone if they detonates. Do they really have giant bomb suits but no gloves?
The suit is there to reduce fatalities and minimize injuries, not to avoid every poasible injury.
Sometimes there are situations where touch and feel is critical, although my understanding is that the preferred approach today is remote detonation where even the suit is away from the likely blast radius.
Most of the times my favorite approach is not to be a bomb expert. To this day it has not failed me yet
Thank you for your service 🫡
Remote detonation sounds much safer.
EoD guys looked at all available military possible and said “nah I want one with real risk.”
Gloves are useless, and you need fine motor control anyway.
I totally get that, working previously in kitchens and being told to wear gloves…I never did because screw that
I just assumed that dealing with bombs wouldn’t be a one-time incident scenario.
… You’re comparing a kitchen (sanitary) to a bomb exploding? Gloves will not protect you from a bomb. Anything that would would be far too large and unwieldly to use when trying to diffuse a bomb.
In my REPLY, yes I’m comparing wearing gloves, to wearing gloves because they are identical after being explained that they both decrease your fine motor movements.
Actually not wearing gloves and washing your hands regularly is, I believe, generally bettee for sanitation. There’s a lot of false confidence and shit with gloves, and they cost money and are technically a limited resource. You should always have them on hand, especially for if you get cut and need to wear a bandaid, but washing your hands as needed is totally fine.
And as it relates to this conversation they have a point in that gloves fucking suck to wear. They’re weirdly sticky and also even tight ones are like wearing loose skin and it just kinda sucks. Again, super great to have around and they can be awesome for some tasks where you just do not want to have to do anything more than removing the glove and rinsing, but the point stands.
Why did everyone shift to sanitation when this post was about fucking bombs.
I’m no bomb tech but I don’t think you’re supposed to fuck them
You can’t tell me what to do!
You literally brought it up. I even explained how the other person was not talking about sanitation so that it was clear that it was you who did so. I understood them the first time just fine.
You’re being, like, turbo-stupid right now. Cut it out.
No I brought up that gloves are no use when a fucking bomb goes off.
I mean when they’re defusing larger bombs the suit wouldn’t help at all, it’s literally do or die
Left hand, I wonder if they’re trained to use their non dominant hand. Though he should tuck his right hand away too.
I would hope so, imagine trying to jerk…I mean, brush your teeth with your non-dominant hand. It just feels weird.
My mouse is on my dominant side so when I’m surfing porn I’m jerking non-dominant.
I switched somehow, it’s like someone else doing it.
Sit on that hand until it falls asleep before you go to town and it’s called The Stranger.
Maybe the guy is a leftie? those exist actually. or maybe the image is mirrored.

You Will
Bravo 👏
I know someone who used to be a genius and apparently it was uncommon but not unheard of for someone to puncture a battery resulting in a violent fire that had to be put out by dumping a fuckload of sand onto it.
So this isn’t that far off from working at a Genius Bar normally.
With all the advancements in surgery robots and robot dogs, cant they put the 2 together for bomb dissarming bots?
Those exist. Maybe not owned by a certain task force.
