If you still die with that bulky ass armour on shouldn’t you just go out without it on you could move quicker see better get more oxygen and think better id assume but if he survived i can see why but that seems highly unlikely seeing how big that boom was

I don't understand why they don't simply OUTRUN the explosion smh these bomb techs clearly have no clue what they're doing.

Maybe it's to keep the body together for burial purposes? Like the seat belts on airplanes?

I don't get it, when you're so obviously clueless and ignorant about a topic, why do you say anything at all?

Seat belts on airplanes are to keep you in place during severe turbulence instead of becoming a fucking retard who’s body gets launched and randomly pounds everyone in the fucking head because you’re such an idiot tough guy who couldn’t stay buckled like everyone else. (Not you specifically)

Because there's a level of explosion that won't kill them, but would if not for the suit. Although pretty much any explosion will take their hands. The suit isn't meant to save them from all explosions. Not a whole lot of thought went into your comment.

As you know, this is the right answer. To add some nuance, most military explosive devices and ordnance use fragmentation (rather than blast/shockwave) as the primary kill/wound mechanism, and EOD suits are very effective against fragments. Furthermore, anti-personnel land mines, which are the primary threat in a peer conflict, and primarily designed to wound rather than kill and an EOD suit provides effective protection.
Perhaps most obviously, an EOD suit drastically reduces the effective kill radius of an explosion.
The level of retarded reddit neckbeard armchair civilian idiocy is through the roof on this post, glad to see there are at least some sensible people around.

This. A bomb suit might just save your life...
Is anyone really gonna fuck with an IED without one if they have the option? No. That's above your pay grade.

Why else do you wear fucking armor if its not to save or protect you from something you make no sense and read over my comment i didn’t just say “ armor didn’t protect from boom it useless” i was wondering why if you can preform maneuvers without it faster and better and with the suit you aren't even guaranteed survival so it seems pointless like if a gasmask only worked 50% of the time why even prepare one

Because there's no such thing as a suit that can protect you from all explosions. That's a pretty obvious thing to assume. Bomb suits will save people from a certain degree of explosion, but bigger ones will kill them.
Read over my first comment, because I just had tonrepeat myself with this one.

Sometimes it's a small boom that the suit can save you from. Hard to tell until it go boom
