I have no military experience and so I ask the following question purely out of ignorance.

After watching Hurt Locker, I got curious as to what exactly kills someone when a bomb goes off. I'm not talking about a bomb going off inside a building where the building will eventually fall on you and kill you. But in a scenario where the bomb is out in the open like the opening scene in the movie.
One of the soldiers is seen running away from the bomb while in his bomb suit. The bomb goes off and you can see blood in his helmet.

I might be missing something here but the debris couldn't have possibly have hit him that hard from a range of about 10 meters.

So any military folks in here give me the simple explanation. Geauxtigers!

Yes the arm was out but it was completely unintentional

Inside the penalty box, a hand ball will be called almost every time.
Outside the penalty box it depends on the ref.

She can do my laundry while she's at it.
