They did test it on a dummy, otherwise how do you explain that no one thought about using

a dummy...

how stupid is this journalist?

If I was writing this article I think I would have suggested that the boss of this company would be the one getting stabbed to show his confidence in his own product.

I remember reading about something like this happening 30 years ago. To my recollection, it was a convention hosted by Soldier of Fortune magazine in Nevada. One of the vendors made bullet proof vests. He had such faith in his product that he was willing to be shot with an AK-47, while wearing it. He was wanting volunteers to fire the weapon, but he could get no one to do it. Finally one of the attendees had him take off the vest. He hung the vest over a wooden post, stepped back and fired. The bullet went thru both vest and post.
