Rhino Skin Backpack As A Bullet-Proof Vest

There are places around the world where normal day-to-day life is mixed up with civil tension and military action. For this Hila Raam, a recent graduate of Hadassah College in Jerusalem, created the Rhino Skin backpack as a form of personal protection that safeguards the wearer from the debris and impact of missile attacks. This Rhino Skin works as a backpack as well as a bullet-proof vest!

This well-designed and extremely-cool-to-look-at backpack is made from Kevlar. Developed using Aramid, a bulletproof fibre used in military vests, works as a civilian personal protection system, or simply put, a bullet-proof vest.

In the event of an emergency, the wearer simply pulls the side straps of the bag around their chest, hauls the protective hood over their head and lays on the ground for cover.

In the event of an air raid warning, people caught outdoors should lie flat on the ground to avoid shrapnel from exploding munitions. Donning the Rhino Skin backpack and hood would reduce the chance of injury, Raam believes.

The shape of the backpack is formulated to protect the vital organs. Raam hopes its use will reduce the number of fatalities associated with terror attacks.

"This unique bag pack protects the essential life or death body areas," says Raam. "It protects the head, neck, back and the sides of the body. Most important the brain, heart, liver and kidneys are fully protected."

In the video Raam created to explain the project (above) she documents the number of rocket and mortar attacks in Israel in recent years points out that 60% of people were in the open air when the attacks occurred, leaving them with limited options for protecting themselves.
