In the picture you see people fall into water after getting shot all the time . But apparently that also happens often enough in real living for someone to develop abulletproof singlet with an motorcar - inflating atmosphere bladderto keep someone adrift if they ’re injured or unconscious .
A bulletproof vest will prevent a rung from piercing the wearer ’s body , but the impingement of getting hit by a projectile moving at twice the speed of sound is still incredibly severe . If the person does n’t have the wind knocked out of them , they can still hurt inner injury making it hard for them to swim or stay put afloat if they suddenly find themselves in the water .
So BCB International ’s unexampled FATS — or Flotation Armor Torso System — helps keep military or jurisprudence enforcement personnel alive no matter how a situation plays out . Like other military gear , the vest features Peruvian mastic tree straps for firmly attaching supply and equipment . And its concealed inflatable bladder , which gets filled with a small CO2 cylinder , is large enough to keep both the wearer , and the equipment strap to them , afloat .
Quick release buckles on the singlet mechanically open as it amplify so there ’s enough room for the expanding bladder . And like with biography vest , it ’s project to be self - right to ensure the wearer ’s gentle wind ways are always keep back out of the piss . With a toll ticket just northerly of $ 1,500 , the FATS vest also is n’t obscenely price . Which is important because no matter how well designed it might be , it ca n’t protect an officer or a soldier if it ’s too expensive for a unit to buy them .
