The point, as I see it, is that a ballistics vests stated purpose is to be a measure in case someone shoots you in the torso - in the same manner a seatbelts stated purpose is to ameliorate, although in a limited fashion, a vehicle collision when applied.
Both, gun wounds and vehicle collisions, without ballistics vests and seatbelts, then you're more likely fucked ... severity of circumstances notwithstanding.

I don't see how life jackets or parachutes apply, in this manner. How would they compare?
