I wonder how often a grenade just fails to explode. What's the failure rate?

What are the chances that an assassin gets into range of the President? What are the chances that said assassin then throws a grenade fairly close to where the President is standing? And then what are the chances that that grenade would be a dud?

Add up all he improbables and the probabillity of the event happening as it did is pretty darn slim, is my guess.

Well, if it has been converted into a cigarette lighter like the one I have at home, I would say 100% of the time.

Now you know why, among other many things, US Presidents get gray by their term.
