Stab proof vest - GIF

[NeiljohnUK]

If someone's got a knife, it's easy enough to cut the bits not covered.

As UK Police officers, and others, attacked by Jihadis have found to their cost, those that have survived that is. Jihadis that have been trained in 'stan know to shoot through the armpit and stab down into/through the neck, bypassing protective vests. Oh and tanto grind blades will penetrate some vests apparently...

Being an ex-EMT I'm still briefed by security specialists incase I'm called back into service, it's an acknowledged problem.

Ambulance staff in the UK are not allowed to wear stab/ballistic vests on duty unless it's been declared a 'hot zone' and the vest is issued on a senior officers orders, get caught wearing an undercover vest and your fired!
