My thoughts exactly. How do you not throw an item that's sized and shaped fairly regularly. I might get it if it was super awkward like a heavy weight on the end of a chain or a log or 3' diameter sheet of plywood.

The Instructors were dialed in as the lay out of the training ranges.
The instructors that aren't dialed in probably have very short careers.

Watching them, I'm sure the guys are trained to "watch where the grenade goes, and then go the opposite direction. Because if the guy doing the throwing throws left, then jumping into the trench on the left is not helpful. I wonder if those guys volunteer for that job.
