How can i avoid getting more injured after an explosion or blast is over?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Get medical help: After surviving an explosion (such as a bomb, or an accidental explosion) get medical help for the internal injuries from the blast wave. The most lethal aspect in an explosion may not be shrapnel or heat, but instead the first blast wave. The blast wave travels at supersonic speed and severely impacts organs like your lungs, kidneys, and bowels. The shrapnel is the second wave.
