Why arent there bulletproof pants?

Answer 1

people tend to care more to saving their lives than their goods

There are!

It has taken 10 years of development, but a revolutionary company by the name of Amendment II has raised the bar for protecting our soldiers and individuals in law enforcement. Amendment II is truly the world's first producer of ballistic resistant uniform systems. The bottoms have a proprietary blend of ballistic material that protect each wearer's femoral arteries, inner thigh, groin and buttocks from cuts, tears and shrapnel. Range tests have proven that the materials found in these bottoms have the ability to stop rounds from a 9mm to a .45mm handgun. NATO uses the same range test to determine what level of explosive force each piece of body armor can take. IE: a .45mm round has the same force as x. It has been determined that the bottoms provide at least level 2 protection, as defined by the UN. Amendment II has numerous patents filed and will have product available to the US military and law enforcement personnel as well as for civilian use starting may 9th 2011.
