A bomb is about to go off while the hero is indoors. Where does he find refuge? Usually, either the bathtub or the fridge. Think about it as a completely different kind of FridgeLogic. This has been tested by ''Series/MythBusters''. Even taking cover behind a wooden table at 5' will prevent instantaneous death from the pressure wave, though death by shrapnel or other injuries are still [[{{Pun}} on the table.]] For a similar fallacy, see ConcealmentEqualsCover. Of course, most of the time almost any cover will still be better than ''no'' cover -- it's just that fiction often presents it as more effective than it's really likely to be.
