Can a human survive an explosion?

The unprotected human body can survive a blast with a peak overpressure of 30 PSI (206 kPa), but buildings and other structures collapse with the stress of only a few pounds per square inch. This means that people may survive the effects of the blast only to be injured by collapsing buildings.

Can explosions burn you?

Depending on the source of the explosion, the blast wave may include very hot air that creates critical burn injures at the point of contacting the patient. For some of the more catastrophic blast scenarios, this could create a profound number of burn-injured patients.

Should you breathe out during an explosion?

Keep your mouth open and breathe in small intervals. The most lethal aspect in an explosion is not shrapnel or heat, it is the blast overpressure. The blast wave travels at supersonic velocity and severely affects the air-filled organs like lungs, kidneys, and bowels.

What blast pressure is fatal?

The extent of damage from the blast wave mainly depends on five factors: (1) the peak of the initial positive-pressure wave (an overpressure of 690–1,724 kPa, for example, 100–250 psi, is considered potentially lethal) (Champion et al., 2009); (2) the duration of overpressure; (3) the medium of explosion; (4) the ...
