Fecha de emisión: Ago 15, 2024

By 1975, Richard Davis had been shot at close range 192 times. But not only was he completely healthy, each of those bullets were part of a demonstration to sell his new product: the bulletproof vest. So, how does such a light, flexible piece of clothing stop a bullet? The secret was a synthetic fiber material invented a decade earlier. Max G. Levy explores the incredible strength of kevlar. Lesson by Max G. Levy, directed by Vitalii Nebelskyi, and action creative agency.
