Enginseer-42 Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 You shouldn't get blinded or stunned by a flash when blind. For example, you're head is no longer attached to your body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadeykins Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 If your head isn't attached to your body, you're dead and therefore can't be flashed anyways so I'm not sure what this thread is about. Blind people, unless in rare circumstances, can still be disoriented by blinding/bright light because the optic nerve is still intact (despite not functioning adequately). The number of blind people who can see absolutely nothing is the minority in the blind/deaf community. Flashes are also blocked by any form of sunglasses (sans the cheap ones) or welding protection (which includes every hardsuit and syndicate spacesuit).

Enginseer-42 Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 IPC can have their heads removed. Which blinds them but doesn't kill them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadeykins Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 In this instance the optical sensor is genuinely removed - so this makes sense. I assume the flash only checks for valid face protection, and doesn't look to see if someone actually has a vision organ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
