The suit is there to reduce fatalities and minimize injuries, not to avoid every poasible injury.
Sometimes there are situations where touch and feel is critical, although my understanding is that the preferred approach today is remote detonation where even the suit is away from the likely blast radius.
… You’re comparing a kitchen (sanitary) to a bomb exploding? Gloves will not protect you from a bomb. Anything that would would be far too large and unwieldly to use when trying to diffuse a bomb.
In my REPLY, yes I’m comparing wearing gloves, to wearing gloves because they are identical after being explained that they both decrease your fine motor movements.
Dudes hands are gone if they detonates. Do they really have giant bomb suits but no gloves?

Most of the times my favorite approach is not to be a bomb expert. To this day it has not failed me yet
Thank you for your service 🫡
Remote detonation sounds much safer.
EoD guys looked at all available military possible and said “nah I want one with real risk.”
Gloves are useless, and you need fine motor control anyway.
I totally get that, working previously in kitchens and being told to wear gloves…I never did because screw that
I just assumed that dealing with bombs wouldn’t be a one-time incident scenario.

Why did everyone shift to sanitation when this post was about fucking bombs.
I’m no bomb tech but I don’t think you’re supposed to fuck them
You can’t tell me what to do!

No I brought up that gloves are no use when a fucking bomb goes off.

I mean when they’re defusing larger bombs the suit wouldn’t help at all, it’s literally do or die
