I have two issues with a backpack like this.

1) It's kind of overkill to buy a bullet proof backpack on the slim chance that a school shooting would happen in your child's school, combine that with the limited effectiveness of a product like this, and I'd say that the increase in safety to your child is negligable at best.

2) I could see some kid with this thin thinking he is invulnerable, and should a situation occur, getting injured because he thought he was more protected than he actually was.

All in all, a goofy product that is incredibly unlikey to save even a single life.
