The slow blade penetrates the shield
You're more likely to run into a mugger who goes for your torso than a mugger who thinks life is a video game and tries for a headshot with a knife.

That's some wild flailing though, hope they were well practiced not to take someone's thumb off by accident

He was also about to break his arm with the bat.
I guess everthing is on the table when you feel youve got to get through to the overstimulated masses.

Yeah obviously it wouldn't work anywhere else but the torso but this wasn't meant as an example of what a mugger would do trying again and again in the same place if it didn't work. It's just a demonstration of the vest, which apparently works. It's like criticizing "yah a lot of good a helmet will do if you land on your ass".
Still a really big deal, the vest could allow you to survive the initial attack and even if they still have the knife, being aware of your opponent with the option to respond or flee without being already stabbed is huge. I mean if you are really good, as soon as they try to stab you and fail, you grab their wrist. Much better chances in this scuffle than no vest at all.

So this is that fluid "soft" vest that hardens with impact? Wonder how well it works with bullets.
I also agree, that level of "demonstration" is excessive. I gotta think some impact is transferred through, how bruised is he the next day? Plus they should have covered him with hot dogs so we could see bits fly

Reminds me of that body armor demonstration they did in 2012. The CEO looks down as though he'd actually been shot lol. I can imagine his last words to his employees being that if he doesn't see them again then they're all fired.

I mean it looks like he's wearing a big ass bullet proof vest so I'd think stabbing would be stopped lol

That's knife defense 101: you will be cut, just let it be anything but the organs. Neck and head are naturally protected by the arms. Only real target are the thighs, but I assume one could use the same material on the legs...

Most bullet proof vests don't stop knives. You generally protect against one or the other.

Kevlar? I've warn body armor w/ Kevlar plates and my understanding is that they protect well against knives.

Most vests are lightweight Kevlar which knives penetrate. You would have to add steel or ceramic woven plates which adds weight and only covers certain parts.
This is supposed to be lightweight.

In Krav Maga that's exactly what you're told, to expect to get cut if you can't escape and have to attempt to disable/disarm a person. I've drilled knife defense many times with training knives and dull edged aluminium knives and it's almost impossible to avoid getting caught out no matter how advanced your training is.
Some variations of knife attacks are easier to defend against than others, for example If I had a choice I'd rather defend against a downward stabing motion rather than a slashing frantically, from left to right, because that's when you would use your forearms as shields.
Using marker pens in a simulated knife attack is sobering to say the least, because afterwards you find out exactly where a real blade would've cut!
