Genuinely asking, how is that any better? And really, if you were trying to stop fragmentation from killing other people in a room wouldn’t your actual core do a better job of that then your legs?
Different advice for different goals. If your goal is to survive, you want your vitals to be protected. If you want others to survive, might as well use your muscle and fat to absorb some of the kinetic energy.
The idea is obviously for everyone to lay flat with their legs facing the grenade, not just one person. If there’s just you and one other person just force them to the ground. If you live in a dangerous place explain it to them beforehand and maybe even practice.

PSA: Don’t throw yourself on grenades. Lay flat on the ground with your legs facing the grenade.

Well, not one THEN the other. It’s a single blast and it’s too quick to change positions.

Sounds like a good way to shred your legs and genitals
Better than your chest and head.
His goal wasnt to survive the blast, it was to protect the people around them so they could survive the blast.
Id love to a mark Rober on that. Will it actually stop fragments and enough of the shock wave or will they just go through you anyway?
