    Video is really misleading...

    I mean, the wallpaper really is resistant and all, but the main reason why the wall isn't colapsing is because that wallpaper is anchored.
    Also, those brick walls could be taken out with a punch or even less force without the paper... so they can't really be used as comparison (it breaks the wall but doesn't break the wallpaper).

    I'm not saying the product is a hoax, but just about any thicker plastic sheet would have the same effect.

    The video proves nothing. #bombproofwallpaper

    @Bokusatsu_Tenshi: That's kind of the point. Of course it's going to be anchored or it would just fall apart. I'm not trying to be a dick or anything, but I disagree that just plastic would do what that stuff does. I'm sure it's a whole system and not just the "wallpaper" that stops the damage. #bombproofwallpaper

    And yet, the first practical application I could think of is for use in homes with rowdy two-year-olds. #bombproofwallpaper

    @OCEntertainment: I find that wrapping the two-year-olds in bubble wrap to be a more efficient solution. #bombproofwallpaper

    If I was still in the Army, and living in a tent somewhere, I would *so* wall-paper my entire tent with this. In fact, never mind the canvas, just make the entire tent out of bombproof wallpaper! #bombproofwallpaper
