The bouncing bomb was designed to bounce to a target across water in a calculated manner to avoid obstacles such as torpedo nets, and to allow both the bomb's speed on arrival at the target and the timing of its detonation to be pre-determined, in a similar fashion to a regular naval depth charge. They were successfully used in the RAF's Operation Chastise, the Dambuster raids, of May 1943 to bounce into German dams in an attempt to cripple the industrial Rhur Valley. Thankfully no camera person

sciencephobia on Instagram: "This clip is a small taste of why World War II “bouncing bombs” felt like pure horror to anyone on a ship or in a low‑flying cockpit. Designed to skip across the surface like a flat stone, the bomb rides over torpedo nets, ricochets past defenses, and only then sinks next to its target before detonating. The result is not just a splash, but a towering column of water and a pressure wave that can rip open hull plates, snap internal bulkheads, and throw aircraft around
