PROTECTING KEY AREAS
Researching and developing slash-resistant
protective clothing requires an understanding
of human anatomy to protect arteries and
major blood vessels.
The side of the neck and throat. This
area contains the carotid artery and jugular
vein. If either is cut, the victim will bleed to
death rapidly. A horizontal cut across the neck
will also cut the trachea and ligaments that
control movement of the head.
The arms. A deep enough slash to the
inside of the forearm between the radius and
ulna bones will sever the radial artery. This
can result in unconsciousness in 30 seconds
and death in as little as two minutes. The
brachial artery is deep, but severing it will
result in unconsciousness in as little as 15
seconds and death in as little as 90 seconds.
Tendons pass through the wrist and are
attached to the fingers. If an attacker were

to cut those tendons or the muscles that power
them, the victim's hands will no longer be
able to close or hold anything.
The legs. Besides the femoral artery,
there is an extremely vulnerable area just
above the knee, where the muscles in the
legs narrow and connect to the patellar
tendon. An attacker who is close may reach
the quadriceps, making the victim unable to
defend himself or herself.
Beyond a personal attack, there are other
scenarios that pose dangers. When officers
enter a building, they may have to maneuver
over broken glass and either climb over or
swing through window or door frames. If the
vulnerable areas of the body are not protected,
the risk of severing an artery is real.
