Not today Mr Grim Reaper.

An Army officer cheated death when a rocket-propelled grenade bounced off him during combat in Afghanistan.:shocked:

The real point here is that the officer had been provided with some proper protective kit, i.e decent body armour. Maybe the MOD has learnt some lessons from incidents a few years ago when such kit wasn't readily available.
