Snakebite victim saved by stormtrooper suit

Walking around Australia to raise money for a hospital, a man's stormtrooper suit saved him from a king brown snakebite. From the New York Daily News:

"The armor actually protected me and stopped the bite," Loxley said in a video posted online. "I could feel the teeth on the plastic, scraping, but the armor actually stopped something," he said. "So all those people that rag on the old stormtroopers, you know, 'the armor doesn't do this it, doesn't do that', it stopped a snake bite and probably saved my life today," he added. The former soldier is walking around Australia dressed as a stormtrooper to raise $80,000 for the Monash Children's Hospital in his home city of Melbourne.
