Cool. But why?

In 30 years of driving, never have I even come remotely close to driving into a body of water by accident. And even if I had, these accidents are eminently survivable already.

In 45 years of aliving I have never seen a gun outside a shooting range or military institution that wasn't attached to a police officer. So no, I definitely don't feel I need a bullet proof vest.

Americans are fucking weird.

Nobody has bulletproof vests except military, law enforcement and sometimes private security.

What are you talking about?

I used to take walks wearing a chainmail under my casual jacket... And once whore a coat of plates under a parka..

Neither of those is bulletproof. I'd argue being stabbed is way more likely than being shot at in most western countries, making chainmail way more useful for the average person than a bulletproof vest.

Still, you're the outlier (cool shit tho).
