A number of very specific areas of our body are at notable risk:
Our throat, which harbours the carotid artery is certainly among the most at risk locations of our body. A cut through the carotid artery would most likely result in death.
The radial artery can be found in our wrists, which often is subject to cuts during self defence or whilst protecting our face.
The femoral artery is a general term comprising a few large arteries in the thigh. Cutting of the femoral artery would lead to a massive loss of blood within e very short period of time.
The axillary artery is a large blood vessel to be found under your arm pits. A prison officer at Frankland High Security Prison had his axillary artery slashed during an attack in 2010. He luckily survived.
We strongly believe knife and slash resistant clothing, shielding these four main arteries, should be available to all frontline professionals dealing regularly with aggressors and potentially hostile situations.
