Just remember that shrapnel moves in different directions.  If I do not, if I am not wrong, one must look, this was a M26, South African hand grenade and at that stage it had bigger shrapnel and it has already happened that shrapnel misses something close to it, it does not hit everything and if we can ask Captain Kleyn, there was green paint at his, on his vehicle.  As the hand grenade was thrown at his vehicle and moved away, I believed this is what happened.  People have already survived where a hand grenade was thrown into a room.  So, it is not always a fact that the direction in which the shrapnel moves, it might have missed the pole totally or partially.  I am not going to give expert evidence on, about something that I do not know about.
