An iPod saved my life!

Posted on: April 06, 2007

An iPod saved my life!
U.S. Army soldier Kevin Garrad has his iPod to thank after the device sacrificially took a bullet from an AK-47, slowing the bullet down enough to be stopped by the Interceptor body armor vest Garrad was wearing. Here's yet another reason to get an iPod if you want to stay alive on the battlefield. I wonder if 50 Cent had one all those years back, he wouldn't have had to worry too much about wearing so many bulletproof vests each time he goes outside.

Dude! A much better way to dodge bullets is to pay attention to the battlefield and not be listening to Battle Hymn of The Republic when the enemy is shooting at ya!

His ballistic vest saved his life. The bullet just happened to hit the HP player first.

Think it's covered by the warranty?
(and why does it appear to have an HP logo on the back?)
