Would you throw yourself on a grenade?

[Lysserd]

I would choose the window. Since you only said 4 people, I could care less about them. It it were 4 people I loved my opinion would change little, I would just tell them all to run as well.

 

[Sangtrain]

Jump out the window and attempt to hang off the window sill(or whatever it's called).

I'm not a very "meaty" in terms of fat or muscular so the Shrapnel would rip through me and kill anyone with the explosion anyway.


Though...if it were a no-win situation where the window is 30 stories up and I can't just break the window and hang off the ledge, then I'd just grab the grenade yell "I'M A BOOMER" and stick it in my mouth. We may all die, but at least I got the people to maybe get a light chuckle before their demise or at the very least a facepalm.

 

[Piecewise]

I'd throw the grenade out the window because I'm not a FUCKING IDIOT.

Besides, mythbusters showed that this method doesn't work unless the people you're trying to save a far distance away.

 

[Lynxan]

Afraid I'd be out the window too, if it was friends, I might save the others, but others I don't know, sorry, but it's not like I'm the one trowing the thing.

 

[Eykal]

I'd jump out the window, then spend my life trying to save 5 people.

Oh, and if there's time for me to jump on the grenade, then there's time to either throw it out the window or get everyone to follow me...

I was just going to say that.

 

[temporalcrux]

concussion is likely to kill the other people unless the grenade was right in the very corner, in which case, just get into the opposite and make yourselves as small a target as possible, feet aimed at the grenade.

or i would jump on the grenade, if there was a promise of cake.

 

[Dommyboy]

Well, I would throw the grenade out the window, and if that did not work properly, then I would just out the window, thus saving myself. If I did cover the grenade with my own body, would that even save them though?

No real reason to save random strangers except for the greater good, though I have a lot to live for at the moment. Maybe if I was in a very suicidal state, then it would be different.

 

[Eykal]

Yeah, the grenade goes out the window, and everyone's happy.

 

[mattman106]

I'd jump out the window.
Because honestly, I don't give a fuck about people, much less strangers.

OMG you are t3h Hardxcore!

OT: Probably instinctively jump out of the window unless it was friends or family or kids in which case I'd like to think that I'd jump on the grenade to save them.

 

[Sassafrass]

I'd do a slow motion dive out the window while going "Noooooooooooooo!!!" then just as I am clear off the room, it shall pan out to a slo mo scene from the side of the building which will show me diving out and having the flames follow me out, licking at my trousers and setting them alight.

I'd then land on the nearby road and get hit by a car doing 40mph, killing me instantly. But in theory the window option is the best bet for survival.

And welcome to The Escapist, sir/madam/mystical being from space.

 

[Auric]

Jump.

Self preservation says jump, id probably regret it afterwards though

 

[teisjm]

Scream !EVERYONE JUMP OUT OF TEH WINDOW!", and be heroic enough to jump so fast, that i wasn't blocking the way of the others.

 

[enzilewulf]

Throw the damn Grenade out the window....duh. I mean I might die by this but if we are in a apartment complex the grenade would just blow in mid air. I might die but hey its worth a shot to save EVERY one.

 

[Sangtrain]

And welcome to The Escapist, sir/madam/mystical being from space.

I'm Batchu. -seriousface- or the last one in your listed choices...I like that one.

 

[maninahat]

I'd try to jump onto the grenade, but seeing as how the other strangers attempt to precisely the samething, we all collide in the middle and get blown up simultaniously. I could imagine the same happening if we all went for the window at once.

 

[ClazzD]

I'd jump out the window. Really wouldn't care about strangers.

 

[WickederCentaur]

I'd jump for the grenade, i personally couldn't live with myself knowing that the blood of four people were on my hands. If i had jumped out the window and faced the blood of four peopl on my hands, i'd add a fifth person: me...

 

[Taneer]

Assuming I'm not stupid, I'd grab the explosive and chuck it out the window, or just jump out the window, and anyone who isn't a Darwin Award winner anyways will follow me.

 

[Dungus]

I'm not a hero if it comes down to strangers. Friends or family, probably.

 

[SuperUberBob]

It takes a certain personality to be willing to do that. Guys in the military train themselves mentally to do that if the situation calls for it.

Us? No. I like living too much to sacrifice myself for strangers. I'm getting the fuck out of there.
