"Semyon Pegov kicked "petal"

In the literal sense of the word. Here is a photo of the boot that was on Semyon Pegov at the time of the explosion. As you can see, the sole remained intact: this means that Semyon did not step on a mine, but simply kicked it while running. As a result, the main part of the striking element passed by the foot.

Otherwise, the consequences could be much more serious. If a person just steps on the “petal”, most often he remains without a foot; in some cases, the leg is torn off to the knee. Unfortunately, we know of many such examples."
