Safe Life Defense First Response Vest Level IIIa

[@MedicFitness]

I've been wearing that for the past year or so. I actually wear it during my entire shift without any issues.

[@bebop_557]

See, I saw this years ago and I've been wishing Safe Life Defense well for it. What most people don't know is that the majority of deaths from active shootings do not come from immediate encounters with the gunman. But rather, gunshot victims bleeding out or succumbing to tension pneumothorax because the SOP in most places is that Fire/EMS will not go into a warm zone until police have cleared it. Which can take 45min to several hours. This vest that Safe Life Defense makes is absolutely a step in the direction to help minimize casualties, both to the victims and to the first responders. BTW Skinny, there is a guy who I have trained with in Texas who is an excellent instructor and one of the things he does is that he trains Fire and EMS to go into warm zones. His name is Robbie Allmon and his course is P2 Concepts. Check him out!

[@FlankerJackChannel]

I keep one of these in my ambulance. You're 100% right, I wear this for any warm or hot Zone. Also if we are first on scene to an unresponsive patient in a car for instance.

UPDATE!!! As of yesterday (12-2-2020) Safe Life Defense's 3A soft armor is NOW NIJ CERTIFIED! This is awesome.

[@SkinnyMedic]

YES

[@robertscott2210]

Looks like a good piece of equipment. Will you have them on your store?

[@SkinnyMedic]

Not the carrier but we have all the med supplies in stock.

[@diazboyshighlights]

Wrap the mic cord coils around the antenna to get rid of the floppy cord. Works wonders

[@SB-iy7ls]

You can get a tourniquet in the flashlight holder. I have a gen 7 CAT in mine.

[@SkinnyMedic]

Sweet!

[@MedicFitness]

I carry my CAT there as well.

[@keoani1996]

Great review man! I’ve been looking at the high-vis vest for fire scene photography and this definitely help give me some info on it

[@tq6407]

Wish had it back in the 70's, when cops didn't respond to to EMT Calls had my driver shot.

[@SkinnyMedic]

Right!

[@OCRStreetMinistry2021]

hello @SkinnyMedic, what size is the velco patch area on the back and front? and the front pocket area? thank you much for the video . . .

[@joemama6517]

Do you think a 8x10 steel plate would fit inside? From tactical scorpion gear?

[@justjust9568]

Steel plates are idiotic . Get ceramic plates . 1/3 the weight , no spawl , 50$ more only .

[@mattconklin4026]

Do you think it would be better to Carry a hemostatic agent wrap or a powder? I just remember having pellets of quick clot on us while in thw Military.

[@renegade7493]

This funny. You have a safe life ad before video and a Prep Medic after.

[@SkinnyMedic]

Hahaha

[@mynamesnotimportant6941]

Yep same 😂

[@jacobdowling9334]

I just ordered one but I got small size and I beleive I am smaller than you, did I see right you got the XS ?

[@kathybullmer8884]

Awesome, thanks for sharing!

[@SkinnyMedic]

Thank you for watching!

[@shanek6582]

Is that the vest from the commercial I keep seeing before the videos? “Not only is this the ONLY vest that will stop stabs, slashes, rifles, armor piercing” and that as far as I’ve ever gotten because it seems so ridiculous that a 3a is being claimed to stop rifle and AP lol.

[@mynamesnotimportant6941]

Hm. I don't remember them claiming their 3a's will stop rifles. I know some people have tested it to block ap. They also have their rifleproof ones, but those are super expensive. I forget what they call those.

[@k9dave967]

Do any police officers wear one of these ? Looking for an outter vest

[@aidenvoltzke4047]

will 10x12 curved plates fit?

[@JoePatterson]

Is that actually glow-in-the dark, or retroreflective?

[@SkinnyMedic]

The MED glows and the strips are reflective.

[@lachlanh2367]

Can't do that here in Australian Are you really allowed to wear swat medic gear when responding for a ems service?

[@SkinnyMedic]

Yes we can on certain calls.

Has anyone done a reaction video of movie injuries, gunshot wounds, stab wounds, etc.?

[@jacobcraik8222]

Are the plates NIJ certified?

[@mattconklin4026]

Yes

[@collectornick4270]

I could be wrong but I haven't seen anything that says safe life defense is NIJ certified I think it's just made "in accordance to NIJ"

[@collectornick4270]

UPDATE!!! As of yesterday Safe Life Defense's 3A soft armor is NOW NIJ CERTIFIED! This is awesome.

[@mentalllllll]

Know what I was just thinking after you made it known that someone asked you to show how the plates sit in there. They know what the plates look like sitting in there. There are so many videos on this matter. Did you ever give thought to the fact that there are serial criminals out here? And to the fact that they just wanted to see what type of armor that you have? There are so many videos on here showing the destruction of the armor. Someone could be asking because they want to match up your armor pads to the videos showing what type of round defeats your armor that you trust with your life. Sounds wild and crazy, but, yet and still, there are people out here that do these things leaving your loved ones wondering why you were chosen.

[@ashleyshoemaker4355]

My Radio is a 800 will it fit?

[@SkinnyMedic]

It should

[@ashleyshoemaker4355]

@@SkinnyMedic Thank you cause I will be ordering one next week. Stay safe out there Brother.

[@josephoconnor1134]

That's not a plate, it's a ballistic panel..

[@tanksoldier]

Too bad it’s not NIJ certified...

[@collectornick4270]

That's my biggest and only problem with safe life defense. Otherwise I'd jump on it.

[@Pistolero-]

Boycot Safelife defense. They do not own up to mistakes. Manager just repeats what his script tells him to say. I had a poor fit and they strung me along until I could not return it. I even have emails from them . After looking at my photos showing them that there recommended size is too big. They still wouldn’t replace it.

[@tom_olofsson]

You will never be accused of looking any kind of cool. 😂

[@tom_olofsson]

Just kidding. You are plenty cool.

[@SkinnyMedic]

Mrs Skinny Medic thinks I am cool! The kids not so much ...
