Pre cordial thump...it works, if no pulse and no AED is available. I seem to recall, at least in my area, that the schools have to have an AED. Unfortunately, it's generally in the school...somewhere, not near the field. My grandkids LL does have an AED, if anyone really knows how to use it is another question. I'm not for mandating anything, I do like the padded undershirt. It has padding in the chest and sides. Not so much for the "heart-stopper" affect, but the fearless effect while fielding and batting.
