NIJ’s testing found that the Second Chance upgrade kits added protection when used with the existing used body armor. However, the level of protection did not meet existing NIJ performance standards for new body armor. Also, the vest/upgrade kit combinations in all three protection levels experienced excessive “backface signatures.” This means that the bullets didn’t penetrate the vest, but the impact of one or more bullets created a “dent” of more than 44 mm (almost 2 inches) into the clay in back of the vests during testing, a depth that may cause serious injury.

I was talking about the lack of movement by the fellow being hit by the round, not the vests longevity.
Dr. Westrick worked as the research chief for Second Chance, but was removed from managerial responsibilities after he recommended that the company inform its customers that the vests were defective. He was terminated by Second Chance once the company learned that Westrick has provided documents to the Department of Justice that documenting corporate greed over protecting the lives of police officers. Specifically, Westrick provided documentation that continued sale of the vests would result in the loss of life. Despite these warnings, the company continued selling the vests.
And all of this has nothing to do with the fact that "a small magnetic field all over the Earth" can not "spin up" nor "slow down" the earth, as has been amply demonstrated by the fact that the earth has been subjected to a range of natural variations in both its own magnetic field and external magnetic fields it has been exposed to, without showing the slightest inclination to "spin up" or "slow down", quite apart from the fact that there is no mechanism known to science whereby this might be achieved, quite apart from the fact that the huge kinetic energy associated with the earth's rotation could not conceivably be altered by the energy cheap process of applying "a small magnetic field all over the Earth".William is obviously very impressed with electricity and explosions and arcs and other such phenomena, but his idea of "science" is a long way out beyond the orbit of the moon!

If, say, hypothetically, the video was a faked demonstration with only a little gunpowder in the bullets, then there would be little recoil on the guns and little impact on the demonstrators from the light load bullets. Then independent testing with full load bullets would show the vests were not as protective as advertised, which was the case ... http://www.thenakedscientists.com/forum/index.php?topic=45382.msg396014#msg396014Apparently "second chance" was not an ethical company ...QuoteDr. Westrick worked as the research chief for Second Chance, but was removed from managerial responsibilities after he recommended that the company inform its customers that the vests were defective.
