    This needs to be spread far and wide – the vast majority of those wearing both hard and soft armor wear it far too low for maximal effectiveness, leaving major vital organs exposed.

    ya gotta add that wearing the plates high on the chest also makes the top of your PC a perfect spot for your chin during a quick nap…

    It’s upsetting that a video needs to exist, but way to get the info out there Kit Badger! Well articulated and demonstrated plus Rancid.

      I agree, it is odd that this information isn’t common knowledge. But at the same time… …we do still put out signs that say “slippery when wet”. At any rate, thanks for the kind words!
