iPod Saves Lives!

I made this post over at my forum, and I can't resist sharing

-

I never really liked iPods... but hey, they save lives! Kevin Garrad was on patrol in Iraq when he was shot in the chest, exactly where his iPod was. Luckily, the iPod slowed the speed of the bullet so it didn't penetrate his armor.



-No word on whether Apple will give Kevin a free replacement

I would bet Apple will step up and give him a replacement and will probably donate more to the troops. I hope!

Actually, I found an article update; he's not that lucky:
Quote:
Kevin said that the photos are true and the iPod did take a bullet, but it didn’t save his life. He was wearing upgraded body armor that easily stopped the AK-47 bullet. Kevin didn’t realize he was shot and that his iPod was broken until he returned back to base. He put on his headphones to listen to music while cleaning his weapon. When the music failed to play, he pulled out his iPod to figure out why. That is when he realized the iPod took a bullet and he had been shot.

So it turns out he was unlucky for having the iPod take the bullet...

Well at least he is still alive. Amazing what and how people can interpret a story. I am not saying you, where the story first began.
