Hurley doesn't do explosions. He's done gunshots and near-drowning and smoke monsters but explosions - just don't even go there.

Everyone has that one moment they will never forget. Hurley will carry his all the way home, images literally seared into his mind: the casual move of an arm, the sentence stopped mid-word, the boom.

"Dude."

Hurley knew his bad luck had a body count. But even Arzt didn't deserve to go out that way. No one does.

When the Others descend upon the camp, Hurley is far away. He doesn't do explosions. He does not like how they end.
