    Interesting, that was more than my preliminary results pulled up, although 2 of yours specify the wrong grenades were used.

    So sounds more like a training and personal issues over equipment issue if using the right equipment limits it?

      I’d say it’s an inherent risk with most less lethal grenades. They’re ideally used out of line of sight and many have a minor incindiary element. So if they land say next to curtains they can start a fire. Like the one that occurred in the Iranian Embassy Siege after the SAS threw in a flash bang.

      There’s risk mitigation that can take place but accidents will always happen to some degree.
