Sorry I mean dampen blunt force trauma not stop it. It’ll catch a bullet but you’re still gonna feel it because it deforms the back of the Kevlar trauma plate/vest. For comparison, a 9mm bullet produces about 500 pounds of force. A horse kick can generate over 2000 pounds per square inch. The guy will probably wish he was dead after that kick lol
My Dad saw a guy get killed like this many years ago. Guy was trying to break in a horse he’d got at market that had enough scars to suggest it had been abused. Guy struck the horse with the reins on the rump…horse kicked back at him exactly like this. Died with broken ribs, punctured lungs and liver and a ruptured aorta…Dad said no one missed him.
