HELMET OF SALVATION

A British Royal Marine was shot in the head four times during a firefight in the Iraqi port city of Umm Qasr, has lived to tell about it. After he was caught in the enemy’s gun sights, four bullets ripped through the outer camouflage of Eric Walderman’s standard issue helmet. Though the bullets could have meant certain death, the protective Kevlar shell underneath the cloth coverage stopped them.

All of the coalition forces wear helmets made of the tough Polymer Plastic. Kevlar was developed in the mid 1960s, and in some applications, can be up to twenty times stronger than steel. The military began using Kevlar helmets to replace the old “steel pot” helmets in the late 1970s.
