This might be a rumor, but when I was serving, it was said that if you were just outside the blast radius of a thermobaric weapon, even if you didn't catch any shrapnel, a vacuum is created by the reaction the fuel in the bomb is undergoing. This vacuum can supposedly be strong enough to instantly pull a man's organs out through his mouth. That's what I heard, at least.
