Ok why did the Wonder Woman song with a thunder clap just go off in my head when I watched this...

BigIrishGuy
Cause that thing is so fucking heavy you need momentum to give you a helping hand. Also thats sexy AF and I'm a straight man.
WulfgangKeiser
This armour provides very high levels of resists to the blast damage type at the cost of agility
mrmyxlplyx
I thought he was gonna turn into Wonder Woman.
DrLophophora
fabulous!
BeerandCats
It's like opposite wonder woman
Whiachy
Based on the fact that he's at a track, he must've just completed a PFT/PFA, or some other bad ass mother fucker test, in that suit. >
Whiachy
Forgot which unit, specifically, does this as part of the final test of training.
Niggler21
That is ex UFC fighter Tim Kennedy.

Why is this in slomo?

Bomb suits always make me think of FatMan from Metal gear solid

Cut off too soon. Wanted to see pants removal too.

On a side note, I saw that "The Hurt Locker" is back on Netflix.

I still want one

Approximate cost of the Gen10 suits: $30,000

And

The helmet is 75% of that cost.

I don’t get it
DogInBoots
I thought I recognized him
RamenAndBooze
does he?
RebeccaRuxin
He’s a retired UFC fighter so you can see him in next to nothing being ripped. But no.

Thank you

Special forces and went through ranger school. Still served while he was in the UFC.

Thanks, I have my plan for Valentines Day now.
mallywanders
No that's what sailor uranium looks like
Quizz25S
Yep. They come on stage in a full firemans suit and have to take it off 1 piece at a time. First the gas mask... Then the left boot...
alsoAzrael
Ooh, can members of the audience catch the gas mask? I should go to... I mean, I should avoid that because that'd be super gay.

You have never been to a strip club have you?

This is my favorite scene, since it's supposed to make him look like an unflinching badass, but he looks like an untrained moron instead.1/2
everythingisfunnywithyaketysax
I watched with a buddy who was in Iraq, he shouted "What a f-ing idiot!" and i haven't been able to take the movie seriously since. 2/2

Hi @BallsLikeWatermelonsPeckerLikeAThimble . A doctor here. You might have testicular cancer and should probably get that checked out.

mudnmetal
The Hurt Locker movie I think.
lameron
Yea, a shitty movie!!
EyesLikeTheSky
From a movie perspective it's a good movie, but it's very inaccurate.
VikingVocals
Tim Kennedy is the fuckin’ man
thesupersonic
He’s a d-bag. Just look at his Twitter
YoureBeautifulandSomeoneLovesYou
What about his twitter makes you think he's a d-bag?
thesupersonic
He’s insanely anti-immigrant doesn’t support DACA in the least Crítiques Muhammad Ali for not getting in the draft without knowing his story
YoureBeautifulandSomeoneLovesYou
I was thinking to myself while watching the gif that he looked like Tim Kennedy. Does he do bomb disposal on top of everything else?
FatherOfFour
He wrote about it on Facebook recently. He is the man.
VikingVocals
Nah he was just drilling with some army boys I believe
myr14d
I'm curious. how effective are those things?
Wabbadabba
It's meant to keep your corpse in as few peices as possible.
paigezero
60% of the time it works every time.
TheRealStalinWhoIsStandingUp
but there is only a 50/50 chance of that
minipancho94
lets just say theres a reason its so easy to remove quickly. real talk, astoundingly so until you grasp all the forces involved in a blast.
Pneumatrap
I once had a police bomb tech I was talking to describe his gear as the difference between an open and closed casket at the funeral.
Phantom381
Talked to a bomb tech once. He said I believe with up to five pounds of tnt you can survive but you'll lose your fingers, toes, and hearing
Phantom381
I blelive he also said your eyes may burst

SlightlyDodgy
Fortunately it was a small IED, & judging from the amount of unexploded mix it wasn't very well made. Could have been a different outcome.
intashu
Better than nothing. Useless if your next to a device.
ThatMonkeyFromCaptainPlanet
Just stops shrapnel, nothing you can really do aboutthe tertiary blast causing internal ruptures and collapsing lungs.
thefuckwouldiwantacaravanthatsgotnofuckinwheels
they are researching a cool impact substance for hydrostatic shock, i wonder if this will work for blasts as well
ThatMonkeyFromCaptainPlanet
Hopefully, but I'm sure most would agree to find new tech that take humans out of the danger, while keeping the all important human element.
omh1
Outside of the kill radius of the concussive blast, they are great at stopping shrapnel, inside it they're as effective as a t-shirt
qwikstuh
about 7 effective
ObnoxiousLabrador
On a scale of ...... ? Bananas? Hedgehogs.....?
yTFuLion
Ever seen HurtLocker?
mikeatc
They just added it to Netflix
OptiMissInformed
My husband says its just to keep your pieces together. He said his team didn't wear them at all down range last deployment.
Kay2015
Yeah, the whole point to keep your dead body in one bag, not to keep you alive
Comet260
What about bullets?
ACupOfMilk
Just shoot the face mask and you'll be fine( payday 2 players are experts at this
LatrineUsedToBeShitHouse
Not very, his face isn't even protected.
yourmotherandIthinkyoushouldmoveout
Well, the helmet isn’t on.
LatrineUsedToBeShitHouse
It's almost like I was making a joke.
yourmotherandIthinkyoushouldmoveout
We don’t joke here on the interwebs
ItsThoseZanyGermans
Ever watched the beginning of The Hurt Locker?
EyesLikeTheSky
I'm not sure how admissible that movie is for realism
Vaanhalen
I'd encourage you to read up on the movie
Zinamatic
Effective aslong as the blast insist of concussive setup.
shimmernshine
See also the opening scene of The Hurt Locker. I know it's a movie but that scene was confirmed as accurate by veteran EOD techs.
shimmernshine
Not really, if the bomb was designed to be lethal from a concussion standpoint, which many IED are.
KillerTofu615
Any bomb is almost entirely designed to be lethal from a concussive standpoint. Explosives inherently have concussive shockwaves.
Zinamatic
A device that is air exposed vs contained to spread materials is the difference. They are used to absorb those objects. In hurtlocker like _
Zinamatic
-someone mentioned he exposes them above ground, that changes the mode of travel from a medium of rock to air.
baconandplagues
My dad said "worst case scenario, they'll have some meat left to put in your casket, best case you don't need to know" he was EOD...
yourmotherandIthinkyoushouldmoveout
Tell your dad he owes beer.
KiloElectronVolt
Thank your dad and what is the thing that looks like an iphone on his arm? Is that to monitor air in the suit or does this help defuse?
eClapton
Cruising through random....Ive worn one of these suits, it controls the speaker on it, radio, fans in the helmet. Just a small control.
baconandplagues
I have no honest idea, he was active duty in the early 90's so I couldn't tell you.

flacoloco
Technically, you are not wrong. If an EOD goes off then its literally the end of discussions
SparkyShowers
Usually the result of an explosive overdose...
flacoloco
of taco bell? yes
yourmotherandIthinkyoushouldmoveout
Theyre only rated for around 5lbs of explosives IIRC. Effective as can be up to the limit. Anything bigger, the overpressure kills you. 1/
TresusIbor
Now, could the pressure and shockwave from one of those be nullified by a strong enough suit? (theoretical exosuit)
OtterlyMagnificent
The only Exosuit that could protect you fully from the effects is one you aren't wearing. EG: a robot.
HighrockTendales
Pretty sure the existing suit lies at the limit of a human’s ability to function in it, so I would say not with existing technology.
Cosmogonic
exactly. you'd need cybernetics and a skull able to shield your brain from that kind of damage... better off remote control.
Koshunae
Or water cannon.
yourmotherandIthinkyoushouldmoveout
Anything big enough, the suit isn’t even worn. It becomes more of a hindrance. If you fuck up, you’re dead. The EOD motto is 2/
yourmotherandIthinkyoushouldmoveout
Initial success, or total failure. And that’s for good reason.
yourmotherandIthinkyoushouldmoveout
Back to my first comment. Yes, you can survive bigger than 5lbs in the suit. But the likelihood of getting fucked up is high.
SKOOBASTEEF
There is a few rules of thumb:15 psi- ruptured ear drum 25 psi- lung damage 30-40 psi- brain/skull damage 50 psi- dead.
StandardDeviant
IIRC, they don't wear gloves with those suits, because your hands are going no matter what.
