An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

Don't Try This At Home exists for a reason: some things are best just left to the professionals. Firemen, policemen, bomb techs, seasoned military veterans even action heroes and superheroes, put their bodies and lives on the line in the course of their job dealing with lots of dangerous stuff. Sometimes the seasoned professional isn't running; maybe they need to stay behind and make a Heroic Sacrifice, or they're just finally letting loose. In these situations, they usually turn to the weaker members of the team and invoke the trope name or something similar.

Firemen, policemen, bomb techs, seasoned military veterans even action heroes and superheroes, put their bodies and lives on the line in the course of their job dealing with lots of dangerous stuff. So when you see the seasoned professionals making a full speed run for it, you don't want to stop to argue. You don't make them explain what's going on. You don't yell at them because you're their superior officer and they are so getting court-martialed if they don't get their ass back on the front line. You run the hell away with them. To do otherwise is likely to be harmful or fatal; when the tough guys run like that, it's often a sign of impending Incendiary Exponent or Stuff Blowing Up. Or worse. Sometimes the seasoned professional isn't running; maybe they need to stay behind and make a Heroic Sacrifice, or they're just finally letting loose. In these situations, they usually turn to the weaker members of the team and invoke the trope name or something similar. "Oh Crap" sums these moments up quite nicely. Anyone ignoring this advice is arguably Too Dumb to Live. A very appropriate reaction to a Hero-Killer. Examples of Don't Ask, Just Run include:
