When your job involves you being put in harm39s way, there is an increasing need to protect yourself from being injured in a stabbing or other violent attack. Weapons are often concealed and any sudden attack is often at close quarters and rarely misses the target. First, some facts about knife attacks. Knives are an increasingly common threat weapon almost two thirds of all attacks involve an edged weapon. A knife never runs out of ammunition, never jams, never misfires, rarely misses its target, has superior concealment capabilities and cuts bone, tendon, muscles, arteries, veins with one thrust. Attacks with edged weapons usually occur when you least expect them. Many people seldom saw the edged weapon that penetrated their body and they failed to recognize the danger cues. Knife attacks can be exceptionally accurate and penetrate deeper than some bullets, creating remarkable permanent cavities and ripping through numerous organs in one stroke. In reality, within their respective ranges, knives are superior to firearms as far as lethality is concerned. This Fortis StabSpike Vest protects the vital inner body parts from stabs, thrusts, cuts and blows or attacks with sharp, edged or spiked weapons, including hypodermic syringes.
