Guy buys new bullet proof vest, urges people to shoot him to test it out...

yes, it ends badly :facepalm:

MELDRETH, CAMBS; ROYSTON, HERTS A lorry driver who shot dead a friend while testing a 'bullet-proof' vest was jailed for seven years today (fri). Philip Harper, 46, from Meldreth, Cambridgeshire, purchased the vest which he believed to be bullet-proof and urged local pub-goers to shoot him in the chest.

Shotgun owner Ian Catley, 40, who was accustomed to roving around fields and taking potshots at vermin, recklessly agreed to turn the gun on his friend. Survival enthusiast Mr Harper, was killed 'almost instantaneously' when the Catley shot him at a distance of less than 20 feet near Black Peak Farm, south of Melbourn. - See more at: http://courtnewsuk.co.uk/newsgallery/?public_id=39541#sthash.dTjhJ0za.dpuf

I'm genuinely sorry for him. :nono:

Although I do feel that his Wikipedia entry goes too far:

He is also a fan favourite because of his gorgeous looks.

Why would anyone think that's a good idea? I mean honestly, it wasn't likely to end well was it?!

With a Shotgun of all things? Was he not aware that the shot spreads out?

At 20 yards he probably got it in the throat and bollocks. Stupidity at its best from both parts.

Not at 20 yards. That's far too close. At that range he's more likely to have had his vest punctured. No arguement about stupidity though. It was deffinitely that.

Did he forget to insert the Kevlar?

He should have only shot him to injure not kill. :dunce:

Of course it was a good idea, If he hadn't done that how would he know whether it worked or not. At least he can take it back now....Mmmm well his wife can, hope he didn't have the reciept in his shirt pocket.

He urged fellow pub-goers to shoot him. With one barrel or two?
