Rocket City Rednecks - Flack Jacket

Posted Jan 16, 2013 by Military.com

Nat Geo Channel series "Rocket City Rednecks"? The show follows a family of NASA rocket scientists as they combine advanced engineering/physics with a dash of hillbilly ingenuity to tackle real world scenarios. This past October, the guys tested a new invention at the Marine Corps Marathon - a lightweight, full-body armor suit. With the loss-of-limb rate for U.S. troops at an all-time high, the Rednecks were inspired to create an alternative version of full-body armor that would protect troops in combat without impairing mobility or performance. The episode featuring the construction and testing of the prototype will premiere tomorrow night at 9:30 PM on Nat Geo Channel. http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/channel/rocket-city-rednecks/
