Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Ballistic protective vests and garments have evolved into important life-saving measures for members of police forces and militaries. Although effectively reducing morbidity and mortality from projectile injuries, significant injuries still do occur. We report a case demonstrating an example of the effects of transmitted forces through a protective vest resulting in a significant chest contusion. |
