Animal warning... the monkey does not make it.

Poor monkey. Another example of nature vs. nurture.

It's another example of not feeding your bear enough

1. This is why I don't like to shake hands with people.

2. If you're in public, assume someone is ALWAYS watching.

I'm really surprised that wall of sand filled bags held.

Granted I've never seen a grenade explosion personally, kind of figured it would at least knock the bags over.

Hopefully that was just a training grenade though.

I know about as much as you, but I think they're designed to spray shrapnel... like an omnidirectional shotgun. The charge doesn't need to be particularly large for that.

 

[InfinitusEquitas]

You may be right, still I think in that case a training grenade was used.

Here's another one;

 

[daguin]

There are different kinds of grenades
Some spread shrapnel
Some just produce a concussion wave
Others just produce lots of noise and light
etc.

In any event, a sand bag, especially a stack of sand bags, can absorb A LOT of shock

Also, although it isn't really apparent from the perspective of the camera, those sand bags are NOT just stacked up "free-standing"
They are stacked against a wall cut into the side of the "hill"

Peace,

The grenade that was used in this exercise is like this one in this other video, where you can see the damage caused to the concrete wall, not to joke with.

Here the video of the first exercise, and a link to a page that talking about this event.

Drop off instead of back drop
I guess there's less to cleanup that way
