Abstract
The aim of the article was to analyze selected designs of two types of shields: chest protectors for motorcyclists and light, personal ballistic shields, in terms of the materials and design solutions used. In the further part of the article, selected concepts of spatial structures dedicated to absorbing the kinetic impact energy were analyzed based on a literature review. Basing on the analyses, conclusions were drawn regarding the possibility of developing and testing spatial structures produced using additive technologies, protecting the chest and limbs against the kinetic impact generated at velocity from 130 km/h up to 1300 km/h.
