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.
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.
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.
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.
Maybe the guy is a leftie? those exist actually. or maybe the image is mirrored.
