We would continue moving our hands down the tube after placing the round into it.

SPC Robert Coventry No kidding. We practiced until it became one fluid motion, then we went to the range.

That's what I was taught as an 11C. Continue moving the hands down the tube as you let go. The video shows soldiers who didn't blow their hands off but still did it wrong (in my drill sergeants' opinion, and I'm not going to argue with a drill sergeant).

LCDR Jerry Maurer They didn't have to tell us twice once we saw it live and up close. No accidents I can recall after hundreds of rounds.

What the heck is the matter with these soldiers! When I was on the trail the range that scared me the most was the hand grenade range. I view this mortar training as being similar. Whoever was running that mortar range hopefully it’s not running ranges anymore. They should not be in a position of responsibility. MHO

PV2 Scott Mollette I get a shiver up my back just thinking about bring on that range. I never had a close call like that but I knew some that did.
