Reply to It’s important that he knows by TheCarrot_v2

As mentioned in the movie "Forrest Gump", the guy that made the bumper sticker "Poop Happens" probably made more money. While sitting when driving you are literally squeezing cheeks, so kind of hard to go.

If you mean hiding under a desk to deflect a 5.56 round fired from 500+ yards away, then yes you are absolutely correct, when trying to compare it to "duck and cover."

It was never meant to be used in the sense of "Oh my god they're dropping a nuke on my town, let me hide under my desk and I'll be safe from a nuke!" I'm sure there were some people who wanted to stick their heads in the sand and believe it'd save them from a ground zero nuclear blast just so they wouldn't be petrified with fear... but that was never the purpose.

It was for outside that range, where a blast would still shatter windows and destabilize structures but not vaporize you or put you in the vicinity of fallout. And even then it was only minor protection. But that's SOME vs NONE. And you'd be hard pressed to find someone who says "Nah I'll take the 0% chance of surviving over 25%."

Same goes for natural disasters. The desk is not the sole magical protection, it's about other stuff falling on you that it can deflect or help bear the weight of.
