How is he still alive? How did throwing himself on a granade backwards stop them from dieing? Very weird. Glad to hear there wern't any serious casualties.

He had his backpack on and it was full of gear that shielded him from the blast. Plus his flak jacket

But it's just a forkin back-pack! There must have been some serious gear in that to shield him from a granade explosion with NO injuries.
