iPod saves life ?
Well not exactly, but it did slow down the bullet enough so it didnt penetrate his body armor. Kevin Garrad from (3rd Infantry Division) was on a street patrol in Iraq and as he rounded the corner of a building an armed insurgent came from the other side. They were just a few feet from each other when they started open fire. The insurgent were killed and Kevin was shot in the chest. He didnt even know he was hit until later when he wanted to listen to music while cleaning his weapon.
