Why are bulletproof vests not stabproof?
In: Engineering
A bullet proof vest is like a fishing net. Its designed to catch a bullet with a rounded top – like a fish. But if we are talking about a sword fish it can use its sword to cut the net and escape.
Basically a bullet proof vest has woven fibers – like a net – that are very strong when it comes to the tension they can withstand. But if you have something that is trying to cut them as opposed to ripping them apart, they won’t work.
