In SFARTAEC we actually knocked people unconscious on occasion, while wearing “fight suits”.
I’ve had my sinus ruptured in hand-to-hand training in SFAUC. Learned that you don’t try to blow the blood out of your nose when that happens.... all the air goes into your cheek.
Back in Ranger Batt, an OPFOR was seriously injured when he fell asleep in a bunker and during the raid, woke up and before he could do anything, he had a greneade simulator thrown on his lap (tossed into the bunker). It blew up in his hands as he tried to throw it.
Things happen.....sometimes.
The advice by all here is very succinct.
