If he didn't slam GB into the blasts, I'm sure the Team would have a contingency. Maybe they'll use Wally, have Superboy be on the mission to take the hit, or have Rocket do some shielding, or have Fate on standby, or whatever. They're just lucky GB didn't density-shift once he was dragged along for the ride.

'I will respectfully agree...to disagree with you, Zerg! lol However, the LAST point I wish to make is that it HAD TO BE IMPULSE in order to pull that move, PRECISELY so that GB would not have time to density-shift. Call it destiny, or karma, or the fickle finger of fate...what I got from that scene was that...that was THE REASON (or rather THE MAIN REASON) why Impulse had to come back to the past. No one else could have pulled off that move at that particular moment in time and space...at least considering the Team members that were present. '
