I'm reminded that we actually invented this as kids, using these

I googled them and the first thing that popped up is a video of some guys rolling down a mountain and going off course down a ravine and one of them died.

A fatal flaw has been discovered with <activity>. If you do it while falling off a cliff you may die!

Actually looks like it could be pretty useful for protection from falling debris.

Strangely, the videos focus all on the gun angle and not at all on this. I've got a hundred and one work related debris horror stories and if it's at all useful in that regard the guy is going to be fabulously rich. I really doubt it'll provide any real protection once you're dealing with objects with any real weight though.

Well, theres a difference between penetration protection and crushing protection...

Like in the olden days, chain mail was used against arrows and shit like that, but if you get hit by a mace, it's not going to help much, is it?

Although not as penetrative, perhaps, whole lot of blunt force trauma stopping a bullet right there.

No argument there. What was confusing me was that the "tornado protection" angle seems to be half of their selling point but there's no info that I could see on that at all. I strongly suspect it's because those kind of tests did not end well at all.
