Impact and friction detonations will be greatly reduced by

• A. careful handling at all times
• B. using larger quantities
• C. rapid deployment
• D. ignoring safety protocols

Answer: (A)

Impact and friction detonations happen when sensitive material is jolted, shocked, or heated by friction. Handling everything carefully at all times minimizes those bumps, drops, and rough contacts, reducing the chance that an initiating energy will reach the material. Following established safety procedures and proper storage further lowers the risk by keeping materials protected from unintended shocks and heat. Using larger quantities would raise the potential energy available for a detonation, rapid deployment can introduce vibrations and shocks, and ignoring safety protocols removes safeguards—so none of those options reduce the risk. Careful handling at all times is the best way to lessen the likelihood of impact and friction initiation.
