    Reminds me of publicised stories from WW1 of soldiers saved by their pocket bibles stopping rifle bullets. Those "bullet stopping pocket bible" stories were also thoroughly perpetuated to underline how God was clearly on our side against the evil, baby-eating Germans.

    No good book will stop a rifle bullet fired at combat distances. Ricochets and shrapnel are of course a different matter.

    I suspect some misunderstanding could have lingered from such stories and thus contributed to this stupid "accident".
