new cubical "prevents blunt trauma"

But does it prevent the trauma caused to us by the blunt? That's another story.<p>

From an article on a "terrorist proof" Cubicle: <p>

In a series of tests, Dr. Gerrard detonated explosives 30 metres from a blast-hardened desk - while rubber dummies sat primly in office chairs. The desk sustained a few scratches. A second blast test, this time detonated at a 20-metre range, caused the desk's drawers to open and one hinge to break, but the Gunnar desk otherwise remained intact.
A regular desk subjected to the same tests, according to the DRDC's report, was "reduced to pieces of shards." Besides conducting the blast tests at Suffield, Gunnar also hired Calgary firefighters to drop slabs of cement and a large cube van on the desks. Each time, the desks ended up with enough room underneath for a person to survive.
One of the keys to his desk's supremacy, Mr. Quigley says, is that the surface is fastened to the floor to stop it from shifting or hurting someone. The Gunnar website lists 14 reasons why the company's office furniture is effective in disasters, including rounded corners to prevent blunt trauma, a survival kit with emergency supplies, and a fire-resistant surface that minimizes fragmentation. Mr. Quigley said the units could also be helpful in the case of an earthquake or hurricane. <p>
