The Simple Range Safety Distance estimates the range of the danger area needed when planning the destruction of any ammunition by open detonation on existing demolition ranges with existing marked danger areas. The user should remember that if the demolition range has no danger area, the result of this equation is not an absolute safe estimation of the distance at which no more than one fragment is expected to fly.
