The invention discloses an explosion proof and suppression method for wave and energy absorption, which is especially suitable for tunnels in coal mines where gas explosion occurs. The method comprises the following steps of: symmetrically constructing at least one rectangular wall groove on two side walls about 4 to 8m away from a heading face to an air intake ascending channel or a stope face air intake tunnel, and from an air return tunnel to an air return ascending channel in a high gas explosion accident location; arranging a plurality of layers of cross stainless steel screens in the wall groove to form a multi-hole metal material layer, wherein the cross stainless steel screens have the same size as that of the wall groove; and finally, fixing the cross stainless steel screens by using an anchor pole. When flames pass through a tunnel with the multi-hole metal material layer, the propagation of explosion waves can be weakened and the flames can be extinguished due to the increased collision probability of free radicals and the multi-hole metal material layer. The method has the advantages of no need of explosion suppressing agent, low cost, simple use and maintenance, safety and reliability.
