According to the company's CEO Robert Kaiser, spike protection cannot be

guaranteed with all body armour: "Weapons like ice picks, sharpened screw

drivers, spiked clubs and hypodermic needles can penetrate them if they are not

offering specific protection from such threat."

Society has changed, and some will argue not for the better. Robert Kaiser

further comments: "Besides a global rise of knife crime, and we also have to

accept those sometimes incredibly brutal attacks have become more frequent over

the past ten years."

"We can clearly see a change in the type of edged weapons now being used in

organised crime and terrorism. Many blades perform very similarly to a spike,

they have been specifically engineered to enter another person's body using

minimum effort, with little or no resistance."

Attacks using double edged blades like the ones above are becoming more and

more frequent these days, partly because they are so easy to purchase here in

the UK and most other countries.

Double-edged blades are exceptionally difficult to protect from. Therefore

certified spike protection is crucial, as there is physical evidence that a

body armour can withstand such threat.

Robert Kaiser is adamant, certified protection from spiked weapons is essential

in today's security industry.

"Body armour without certified spike protection will be useless in the event of

an attack using some of these truly horrific spiked weapons."

"Supplying or selling body armour without certified spike protection will

without any question result in either serious injury or even death to frontline

professionals at some point in the future."

PPSS Group have recently launched a new generation of stab resistant body

armour made from high performance carbon fibre composite, offering certified

stab, spike and impact protection.
