The shock wave may be caused by sonic boom or by explosion, and the resulting overpressure receives particular attention when measuring the effects of nuclear weapons or thermobaric bombs.
According to an article in the journal Toxicological Sciences, Blast overpressure (BOP), also known as high energy impulse noise, is a damaging outcome of explosive detonations and firing of weapons.
[1]An EOD suit worn by bomb disposal experts can protect against the effects of BOP.
The human body can survive relatively high blast overpressure without experiencing barotrauma.
However, a standing man will be blown away at about 10 f/s velocity by a shock of 25 psi peak pressure.
