100 MPH Lifevests do not protect wearers from traumatic injury in a high speed crash

When I was researching Impact Vests, back in about, 1995, Mustang Survival, was the one of the only manufactures at the time.

They did not mislead me into thinking this thing would prevent injury, yet they were firm that it would stay on me at 100 mph impact with the water.

THUS the Term "100 mph Impact" rated! Pretty simple!

Yep, this is a typical 100 mph Vest (http://allisonowners.com/p/vest.jpg)

This is what the label should read inside the vest. Label (http://allisonowners.com/p/impact.jpg)
