bombproof

Survives any explosion

Bombproof describes something built to withstand bomb explosions: a bombproof shelter, bombproof bunker.

Figuratively, it means completely reliable or immune to failure—a bombproof plan has no vulnerabilities, a bombproof excuse can't be challenged.

In equestrian contexts, a bombproof horse stays calm despite loud noises or sudden movements: She's looking for a bombproof mount for her nervous daughter.
