That's nonesense, as anyone who has been through U.S. Army basic training can tell you. On the day of nuclear, biological, and chemical warfare training (right after the "gas chamber"), all soldiers learn exactly what to do in case of a nuclear blast.

You simply lie on the ground, face-down, with your head in the direction of the blast. It is important that you form a completely straight line, with your arms at your side and your legs straight.

Then, the blast wave from the nuclear strike will harmlessly pass over you.

The funny part is that I'm not making this up. Kinda reminds me of those "Duck and cover" what-to-do-when-a-volcano-erupts PSA's on South Park.
