Man wearing bullet-proof vest asked his friend to shoot him. She complied.

Here is one of those stories that should come with a warning: Do not try this at home.

Blake Wardell and about eight to 10 friends were hanging out at his South Carolina home when they decided to try on a bulletproof vest and have someone shoot them -- with live bullets.

Wardell, 26, donned the vest but the shooter, a woman, missed the Kevlar, hitting him in the chest, according to authorities cited in published reports.

Wardell, bled to death after being shot in the chest. His death has been ruled a homicide. And the shooter, 18-year-old Taylor Ann Kelly, has been charged with involuntary manslaughter in connection with the shooting. She could face up to five years in prison.

I don't know which of them was worse - idiots?

Why would you test if a bulltproof vest worked...by having someone shoot at you...whilst wearing it...and seeing if it hit you or not...

Do they not realize that guns are used to kill people?

Wow two idiots, one deciding to test the vest for the first time by wearing it and the other couldn't even hit it. Although they also don't mention what caliber, type of bullet or firearm he had her shoot him.
