(+) Yeah! (+)

The creator of the product, Aaron Ansel of Practical Protection, said the Prydwen could be used for schools, offices and outdoor events. He showed KIRO 7 how it quickly transforms from a seat into a high-caliber ballistic vest. Watch the short video below.

KIRO 7 asked the creator how the vest fits into the safety debate, and he admitted that he wishes he didn't have to create it.

The market is unfortunate. Its not a product that I even think should have to be on the market, but for me, its mostly about the technology. Its the fact that we have technology thats available to stop extremely high-powered guns, said creator Aaron Ansel with Practical Protection.

The vest retails for about $100.
