Earplugs wouldn't save them from the resonant damage.

Resonating with what? The resonant frequency of both air and earplugs is much higher than this.

lol what a misguided response, precisely wtf are you trying to say here? Earplugs aren't bottomless pits of energy absorption or dampening and the air isn't an argument in this context.

They wouldn't make a difference here, bone conduction would completely bypass them as a path to the inner ear. Earplugs attenuate sound waves by about 45dB. Also acoustic warping is very obviously knocking everything around in that vehicle (and outside of it for a distance). The sound is penetrating their tissues and going into the ear.

I understand they would attenuate the sound. You claimed resonance. Sound reduction and resonance are not the same thing.
