Would you throw yourself on a grenade?

[lwm3398]

I'd rather just jump out the window, call in my highly trained goose to diffuse the grenade, then to the winchester for drinks. Hows that for a slice of fried gold?

Well, fried gold except for the zombies of course. (Winchester, zombies, piece that together.)

Why not just shoot it? Tell my friends to jump out the window and then shoot it, jumping out the window the second I do so. Worst I go away with is a few on my back.

I agree with someones earlier statement, it would depend on if anyone was watching the situation. As long as I was reasonably sure that noone was watching, and that all the other people are definetely going to die then it would be the window. Otherwise, I'd jump on the grenade, cursing my own damndable need to look good in the eyes of others.

no because it doesnt work acording to mythbusters...at least i think i cant remeber.

why cant u throw the grenade out the window?

 

[Apocalypse Tank]

Most logically I'd throw the grenade out the window or tell the strangers to follow me out of the window. Either party gets out the window and everyone lives.

Silly OP, the correct answer isnt to flee out the window, or jump on the grenade. The correct answer is to throw SOMEONE ELSE on the grenade. Problem solved. You not a coward, and you not dead

Well I'm made of metal so it wouldnt hurt me anyway o I'd jump on it

Can I throw the grenade out the window?
Does anyone in the room have a helmet? (Throwing yourself on a grenade is slightly survivable if the person doing it puts a military grade helmet over it before planting thier ass on that grenade)
If no to either of them, I'd choose window, If it was my friends I might have been willing to blow myself up for them.

I keep having this scenario were I go to jump on the grenade then another person jumps at it at the same time, then we bump eachothers heads in a comical fashion then we both fall on the ground and are blown up.

But assumeing that didn't happen mabey stand in-front of the window so when it explodes it appears you were thrown out?

 

[polymath]

I'd do nothing, now if they threw a live grenade in....

Ahhh loop holes.

 

[Desert Tiger]

Throw the grenade out of the window.

Duh.

Either that or throw the ugliest looking person on the grenade, thereby saving me and the slightly less attactive people.

A better moral dilemma is you're steering an out of control train and there is a baby in a pram on one side of the tracks and a group of people on the other and you have to choose who you kill.

 

[Sewer Rat]

Question, how high is the room in question, as jumping wouldn't do much better if the room is 30 floors up. At any rate I would probably jump... Or just throw the grenade out the window, whichever is easier.

 

[Optional Opinion]

If the strangers aren't willing to sacrifice themselves to save us then why would I?(nice circle there) Self preservation isn't necessarily cowardice.

 

[Chunko]

I'd throw the grenade out the window.

 

[Raticate5]

I'd jump on the grenade even if there was only one other person. But I'm a Quaker, so you could expect that.

That's easy, you take out the baby. If you have to kill, choose the lesser of two evils. One life < a group of lives
