This isn't as dumb as it's made out to be. Obviously it's not going to save you close to the epicenter but they don't claim that. It was meant for people further out to prevent blindness from the flash and especially debris like broken glass when the shock wave hits.

I would duck so low put my head between my legs and kiss my ass goodbye.

I think the best advice was in 'Beyond the Fringe', when the 'Four minute warning' was being discussed the line was 'you may not think that's very much time, but there are some people in this country who can run a mile in that time'!

Welcome to the fallout series.

Well at least the first part of this is profetic: "Dumb Dumb Deedle Dumb Dumb".....

Let me jump out of my tractor that's moving and put my head under the tore to protect myself! Hey look my tractor magically stopped moving!!!!!

actually if your far enough a way you will see the blast a few seconds before the shock wave hits you, and if your far enough away it might not even be enough to knock down the building your in, when your far enough away that the blast wave is survivable then you still have to worry about radiation burns. covering your face with paper can stop most of the initial radiation that would burn you.
