We've seen videos of people testing bulletproof vests while they're wearing them.  But this video takes it up a notch or two, that's if it's real?

This video is making the rounds and it shows a guy in Russia testing a bulletproof helmet while his friend is wearing it.  He fires one shot from about ten feet away and... luckily it stops the bullet.  They are testing the strength and quality of the helmet with a single shot from a service pistol. There are so many things that could go wrong with this type of testing that this is extremely reckless and dangerous.

It's a shame that I have to say this, but... Please do not try this at home!!!   

When I first saw this video I was almost certain this was going to be a Darwin Award winner, but fortunately for the test subject, not this year.
