Brit knifes himself to death,believed his vest was 'stab-proof'
| Although his injuries were “self-inflicted”, there was no evidence Mr Easton intended to harm himself.
She said: “It’s more possible if it was bravado, showing off in front of lads, but where a mother and a young girl were, it’s out of character for him. I can’t absorb it.”
Recording a verdict of misadventure, Ms Welsh blamed the tragedy on “the foolishness of youth”.
| Mr Easton’s friends paid tribute to a “one-of-a-kind kid” and “a character”.

| What an hero.
| why couldn't he just...put the vest on a dummy or something? such a stupid way to die.
| What the fuck I can't believe someone conned that guy with that vest. Hopefully whoever sold him that vest will pay for this.
| This is majestically Darwin Award material.
| That's a very nice way to cement yourself in history.
| Reminds me of the guy who tried to test the tempered glass of an office building (designed to prevent breaking through them and falling to your death) by running straight at it.
It shattered and he had a pretty long (and impossible to survive) drop.
| One side he was an idiot but why call it a stab proof vest if it can't protect you from a stabbing.
| Did the vest advertise as stab proof or did he just think it was?
| How can someone be this dumb?

Lmao yeah they are: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stab_vest
Usually worn in conjunction with flak jackets.
| You know what's weird about this story: normally you would expect USAmericans to be so stupid. HAHAHAHAHA

Not at all weird. The US does not have a monopoly on stupid. However it is the only country dumb enough to want one.
| No there are stupid people around the world

| A popular young man fatally stabbed himself in the chest mistakenly believing the vest he wore was stab-proof, his inquest heard.
Jordan Easton was in the kitchen at one of his friends’ parents on 23 August last year – just five days after his 22nd birthday – when he turned a knife on himself to demonstrate the “stab-proof” nature of the abdominal protection he had on.
He suffered a chest stab wound, and was taken to the University Hospital of North Tees, in Stockton.
