Actually, it doesn't matter would he die or survive because of Aura, distance or whatever. Only fact matters - he pushed the button being dangerously close to explosion. And this is what I really like - show the character, not tell about.

Authors often choose the easiest way to create a villain -  just by giving him every bad trait they can imagine, and it results in scarecrow without any trace of personality. So Adam is mostly personal scarecrow for Blake in V5, not real character.

But this action explored him. He definetely should  have something in mind or backstory to act like that. More than that, he how has some story in short. I just don't want RT to miss such an opportunity to make the narration interesting again.
