Dear Fellow Kenyan,

Tips On How To Survive A Hand Grenade Attack

If a terrorist throws a hand grenade down in front of you don’t run. You will be killed by flying shrapnel piercing vital organs or your head. Seek shelter behind a chair or table in the two to four seconds before the grenade goes off.

If there is no cover, fall face down with your feet facing the coming explosion. Pull your elbows into your sides to protect vital organs and cover your ears. This will change you from a five or six foot tall standing target into a tiny six inch box on the ground. The blast may miss you entirely or flying shrapnel may hit the soles of your shoes. At worst you can lose your feet – but you will survive. If you didn’t see the Grenade coming too bad. However, look over your shoulder and take precaution at all times while in public places.

Let us join the rest of Kenyans in prayers and supplication for peace and victory over our enemies. I suggest that we request for special prayers in our various places of worship dedicated to our forces on the battle field, this coming Sunday (13th November 2011).
