A South Carolina teenager was charged with involuntary manslaughter after police say she fired a shot at a friend in a bulletproof vest, but missed the Kevlar and struck him in the heart. Anderson County Sheriff's Lt. Shelia Cole said Blake Wardell, 26, found an old flak jacket early Wednesday morning in Greenville, put it on and asked 18-year-old Taylor Kelly to shoot him. Kelly fired a single round from a small-caliber handgun at the vest, but just missed.

If she’d only shot herself too, it could have been a Double Darwin!

A Kevlar vest that does not cover the heart?
Epic design flaw?

And now that dude has nothing left but a broken Kevlar vest , a broken heart, a girlfriend in prison and a Darwin Award.

Note to the uninitiated, FLAK jackets are for flak,
not bullets. They don’t do much for flak either, except
they make you feel protected which means you’ll get on
the airplane in spite of your imagination.

Id call it suicide by stupidity. I feel sorry for the girl but she’s learning that just because a boy says to do something doesn’t make is a good idea.

It sounds like the vest is fine, if not a little stained.

Flak jackets are designed for just that...flak, shrapnel and grenade fragments. They are not designed, nor intended to stop direct fire, small arms projectiles...

Someone else pointed out that this could have been from WW2 or something. Just tells me the man WAS a real moron.

Good observation.
"she fired a shot at a friend in a bulletproof vest, but missed the Kevlar and struck him in the heart."
The best I can determine is that she didn't miss anything. She hit was she was shooting at.

From the article, I would say you are right.
