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.
