ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Bulletproof vest

Okay kiddo, imagine you're playing outside and you put on a shield to protect yourself from a dragon's fire. A bulletproof vest is kinda like a shield for grown-ups who need to protect themselves from guns.

The vest is made of a special material called Kevlar that's super strong and can stop bullets from going through it. It's like a really tough net that catches bullets and stops them in their tracks.

People who need to be protected, like police officers or soldiers, wear the vest under their clothes. They hope they never have to use it, but if someone shoots at them, the vest can help protect their body from getting hurt.

It's important to remember though, a bulletproof vest doesn't make someone completely safe from getting hurt. It can only protect certain parts of their body and it won't stop bullets from more powerful guns. But it is still a helpful tool for keeping people safer in dangerous situations.
