Depends on the wall. Solid concrete, safe. Residential interior wall made of plaster, not safe. Brick wall, safe. Near a window, not 100% safe. Do you know the composition of a wall? Chances are no, so remove ass from the area.
They have an injury radius of about 50m, so 100m of free air is safe.
In high school when we finished reading Night by Elie Wiesel our English teacher took us outside and showed us the back entrance to our high school.
It looked just like the entrance to Auschwitz.
Combined with the imagery they showed us alongside the book, a lot of our class broke down in tears - not that there wasn’t a lot of that before.
I was lucky enough to have teachers that truly wanted us have a great education. That book will be forever seared into my memory thanks to people who gave a shit.
A lot of schools have exterior walls that are concrete filled in the US, especially true in tornado and hurricane areas. Interior, I think they went to concrete filled for most of them but you would have to check building codes when the structure was made.
A hollow core cinder block wall should be adequate protection from a grenade.
a grenade isn’t that bad, as long as there’s something like a wall between you and the shrapnel right?

In the case of a school, painted cinder block walls usually (in the US; why yes, our schools do resemble prisons)

50m? That’s impressive. Most modern ones are only 15m.
That is lethal range, range of potential injury is 50m
