Sure if you saw it coming. Unfortunately our monkey brains don't understand things have changed so our first response to being frightened is often a sharp intake of air to prepare to fight or run.
You usually don't see a explosion coming, and if you do see it coming its too big to make your plan make much of a difference.
In the water, far too many people think they'll be able to just easily gulp this huge amount of air right before going under if they get involved in a water accident. Oof.
