Maybe some military stats would be handy too.
Not sure who would provide any info though.

Was reading some stories about Mil guys and early NVG's.
They were really heavy & pilots were suffering broken necks after hard landings due to the excess weight.

Also know of a Apache pilot that is off due to fractured vertibrates due to wearing lots of lovely body armor,being hunched over & lots of vibrations.
Turns out this isnt uncommon.

Though they are mil pilots, they are not 2 way rifle range related incidents.
