A Florida man was shot and killed Saturday by his cousin after police said he wanted to test to see if a bulletproof vest that he owned still worked, authorities said.

Joaquin Mendez, 23, "wondered out loud whether (the bulletproof vest) still worked" around 10 p.m. Saturday at a home in the Tampa area. His cousin, Alexandro Garibaldi, 24, pulled out a gun and said, "Let"s see," WFLA reported.

Mendez sat in a chair and put on the vest, and Garibaldi shot him in the chest, according to police.

Police said Mendez was found outside the house with a gunshot wound to the chest. Garibaldi told police that he "found his wounded cousin after hearing a gunshot," but a witness said Garibaldi shot Mendez inside the house.

Garibaldi was arrested and held without bond Sunday on a manslaughter charge.

i'm sorry.  this isn't funny but it's also funny.  if you had any doubts that the "bulletproofness" wasn't 100% working why would you test it like that?!?
