[GZG] [semi-OT] Maybe "battleskins" aren't so far away

[<Beth.Fulton@xxxxxxxx>]

G'day guys,

Just saw this in New Scientist and it got me thinking about what
soldiers in the future will be wearing all over again ;)

US and Canadian skiers get smart armour

A futuristic flexible material that instantly hardens into armour upon
impact will protect US and Canadian skiers from injury on the slalom
runs at this year's Winter Olympics.
