[ david's dodge gets him, because evan was expecting him to take the brunt of the blow like he usually does. and his momentum is too strong to stop and turn, although he does swing out an arm to try and grab him to drag him at least a little ways further.
but rather than running, david tries to get on his back as soon as he's behind him. he can feel the attempt, the hands grabbing at his waders, his shoulders, the hooks and shrapnel, and he tries to snatch at him, to stop him from getting up there. if he can't - and it's difficult to reach behind him far enough for that - he takes the next best path, which is to wait until david's got a firm enough grip and then back up hard and fast into the wall to crush him between the mine and evan himself.
it won't be hard enough to break anything, but it should wind him, or at least get him to let go. if it doesn't, he'll try it again, still trying to grab at anything close enough to his shoulders to get hold of. ]
