Doesn't matter too much for the rocks: if a few metre of rock won't absorb the radiation, neither will your body.

That doesn't make too much sense to me, since your body could be harmed by absorbing only a fraction of the energy of a large radiation dose.
Valid point. Though I think given the spectra involved, it probably doesn't apply.
