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

Remote detonation sounds much safer.

EoD guys looked at all available military possible and said “nah I want one with real risk.”

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.

I mean when they’re defusing larger bombs the suit wouldn’t help at all, it’s literally do or die

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.

Sit on that hand until it falls asleep before you go to town and it’s called The Stranger.

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.
