CEO that is willing to get shot at to show how good his product is - RESPECT
Gee. Iâd love to hear what the workplace safety authorities in EU or USA would say about this episode. đ
â@manzion7591 there are waivers upon waivers for these type of tests. Even the waivers have waivers. Lol
That was F* crazy..

These guys are brave every day they clock in. The driver is ex special forces. People are acting as if he had any other option. You never want to stop the vehicle while theyre on top of you. He stayed active in order to stay aware. Once he knew he was free of the pursuers he got out in order to setup position if they returned. He had a flat tire and knew his best defense was a good offense. If they got on top of him again before he exited he would of been a sitting duck. He did absolutely everything right. He let his vehicle do what it was meant to do, used his experience and training, and than went on the offense when the opportunity displayed itself. Soldiers will soldier. Well done!
I hope they gave him a pay raise after this or at least a good Xmas bonus !
@@paulden3158I agree
He's done swcurity details for some of the most high profile people in the world too.
He did the right thing, but he exited the car because it was beached / high-centered, not because he knew they had outrun the robbers.
Very true he did everything to survive. If you get out in the wrong time they will nail him
I'm from South Africa and know how this works. You never stop for these guys. They will kill you. Period. I've personally known several transit security guys who were shot on the job. It's one of the most bloody, dangerous jobs you can wish for in our country. What Prinsloo did was perfect. He saved his own life and that of his co-worker. I'm truly happy they got out of this ambush unscathed.
The job is lacking diversity, we need more women and sexual preference variety in these kinds of jobs.

Iâve seen some bulletproof glass demonstrations with people behind it but normally at a slight angle so if the worst was to happen it would miss the person.
Never have I seen a dead on shot to already compromised glass!
Hats off to you!
This guy has some huge balls and shows how confident he is in the product, I wouldn't wanna be behind a 7.62Ă39 round even through bulletproof glass
@@kaneego6281 especially glass that has already been shot and potentially weakened
@@cmelft2463 yea man this guy has some serious faith in his product
When he is checking his rear with his face inches from the window and the bullet literally impacts a few inches from his head that shit was crazy.
100% trust for his product holy fuck idk if i could
Omg, thatâs confidence in the product right there. Didnât sit behind a new screen, he sat behind the already hit screen. Legendđź
Lol I thought no way he's going it it's compromised đ but no he couldn't get out of the seat because he's balls were to big đđ
Leo Prinsloo is an extraordinary man in many ways, he keeps his composure and stays disciplined under "deadly" pressure, but also, possess extreme mercenary skills and exemplary civil conduct...etc. The dislikers to this video are the hijackers. đ
Yes they are hijackersđđ
You've got to keep your composure otherwise your dead meat...
If his assistant believed he could drive and handle the AR at the same time, he must be superhero level of extraordinary. The passenger says, "Here!" and attempts to give him the weapon.
@@marvindebot3264 LOL! One does tend to recall the first time someone fires at them, and it DOES get the adrenalin flowing and the heart beating!
Epic badass. The real ones are always the coolest
I reckon you have proofed your point beyond any doubt. The armour protected and saved a good man's life. Salute.
Donât you mean saved two good menâs lives?
@@lindanwfirefighter4973 That one shot would have hit the driver, not passenger. But you have a valid point, in the long run, both lives were saved.
@@colinimmelman6435 there were multiple shots that hit the vehicle. Including the passenger window.
In a way too these men are helping bring an economy to South Africa
Think about it the money was probably used to fund a village or a school.
â@Linda NWFirefighter 3 if you count the mad lad that sat in the car being shot at to then explain how it works
Maximum respect goes out to Leo and his colleague. I couldn't help noticing his still carrying his sidearm in a safe environment.
Thats South Africa for you, beautiful but a deadly place. If you are in the wrong place at the wrong time your a goner.
In south africa, its generally a good idea to not Leave your house without a Gun at all, unfortunatley there are just some unhinged people who will attack anyone, and having a gun can atleast give you a fighting chance against them

@@Brocuzgodlocdunfamdogson unironically this, when my uncle was being robbed one of those idiots decided to check out the bedroom, and he must've just been standing there because his presence was enough to wake up my uncle, who thought it was just my younger cousin who had a nightmare or something, so when he realised that it was a whole ass man in his house, i'd bet he was thankful to have been sleeping with his gun
@@ethanodis6440 Colin Noir just did a video about why you should keep one in the bathroom
Wasn't prepared when you told him to send it. đ This is a man who trusts his product indeed. Cracking stuff đđ»
You can still hear in his voice he is slightly nervous because every thing he knows is saying "my product would easily stop that fucking bullet" but the other part of his brain is saying "holy fuck they are shooting a bullet right at me what the fuck am i doing"
if the owner of the company armoring my vehicle is not willing to do that, I'm taking my business elsewhere
Yeah i wouldnt sit there lol.
Jesus fucking christ. That was the most insane thing I've ever seen .
So what happens when the round go thru the same spot multiple times cause the glass is now shattered đ€. I would trust my product but hell no not bullets
The fact that the structural integrity of the glass was already compromised and he still said send it while sitting inside without and armor was impressive.
Yup 14:10
South African are built different!
If I was their marketing director i'd have this company's intro video be just the 2 second long "send it" clip.
Just start with that and then be like "what else would you like to know".
â@@ZDson3112it would work unless your company was too cheap to buy it.
This was a great breakdown. Should lead to a lot of sales.
Of course.
This great brake down you Just informed al the criminals how it works.
@@pieterwillemse981 he just showed how incredibly strong the armor is⊠How does that help the criminals? Sure it can inform them to bring better gear, but one would think thatâs a given when attacking a damn armored truck.
@Gorgeous George they have run flats. They still drive, just a bit worse.
@@pieterwillemse981 they could just go as a âcustomerâ and get way more info than this vid.
2:00 -- The bulletproof glass literally saved his life. He was looking at them at the moment of impact. They were aiming right at his head.
@Maury Shvitzstain Buffalo NY thinks otherwise
Cowards they will rot in hell
South African armored cash vans in post-Apartheid is basically Wells Fargo strongbox coaches in the American Old West. You are going to be attacked, it's just a question of when and where, and by how many bandits.
14:10 Now that's confidence in your product
Pure madman.. haha
@@AWDRIFTO Engineers. Close to madmen but they have math behind them.
The confidence to sit behind an already compromised windscreen and take another round is absolutely insane.
That shot was taken from angle where even if it came through it would pass him. Shot came from far right front side of the vehicle in direction of rear left door (diagonally front right to rear left). You can see how much he squeezed back into that seat before asking to SEND IT. I would understand if he took the risk with brand new glass but that one was already compromised and this guy knows his business he wouldnt take dumb risk for youtube. Good trick though
now we gona try using a rocket launcher
i usually dont like ads, but this product is sick. i just watched 2 dudes almost die in a shootout, then they got the car back and kept shooting each other in it because its just doesnt break. amazing
Well if itâs shoot enough it will break
This armored vehicle provided this man the opportunity to do what he's trained to do. The driver was a BEAST under that insanely extreme stress situation.
I'm a bit late to the party, but man, this is some of the best advertising a company could hope for, and this guy being willing to sit behind an already battle-damaged window screen is some great doubling down on his company's product. I'm aware south africa has some bad issues with violent crime, but I'm kind of shocked by how brutal these criminals are. Like they were absolutely going for the kill from the start.
U cl0wn, only this man! Was doing the entire job. Other guy was scared
@@johnr39 that person was only 4 days into his job, how would YOU have reacted? Itâs very easy to criticise just because you where behind a stupid screen,
@@johnr39 I don't really understand what you're trying to say. Can you try again?
â@@johnr39are you saying you wouldn't be scared as well?? You would of been crying like a little panzy..ha ha good one tough internet guy đ€Łđ
Not just some issues man, it's one the worst places in the world for violent crime.
Wow. Super glad the driver and his partner are still alive. The footage on the video was scary af, I couldn't imagine what it must've felt like but I'm grateful there's a bulletproof vehicle for the boys.
I was attacked by 2 muslims at a gas station with many people not one helped me that was terrifying but this would be on a whole other level
14:10 wow they trust there product
Somehow this whole thing smells of a marketing gimmick, the attack and now the the marketing show begins as the public has "seen for itself'
@@2511jeremywhy did u say muslims?
@@bradleyrichards1237 You're either incredibly thick or completely ignorant of the realities of living in South Africa...
Dude, youâve have proved you literally stand/sit behind your product. Even when itâs already been shot a few times! Great Job saving those menâs lives and building a quality product
This guy is a legend. He did what so many do in action movies, but it was real. Life or death, and he made it.
The sheer confidence this gentleman has in the product says alot about the product. Good on you sir.
The vehicle is excellent and the bravery of the driver is amazing. The guy next to him handled it pretty calmly. Unbelievable footage.
I think the passenger was scared shitless and didnât help at all.
@@rondaalbers9324 HOW TO HELP?
@@rondaalbers9324 How was he gonna help? The windows are bulletproof, You expected him to yell? Make the situation more tense? Learn about shit like tihs before speaking.
His offsider handled it very well indeed, it was his second or third day on the job.
14:10 man trust that product
Holy mother of just about everything. I don't have as much confidence in the sun rising in the morning as this dude did in having someone shoot his windscreen- while it's already busted, no less- as he's sitting behind it. "Send it." Geez loueez. Ok, it works! Wow. His balls are made of the same material as that truck, and vice versa.

I am so glad we have wind SHIELDS here in the USA. Your poor Europeans driving around with just screens. Screens just keep out bugs. Do you do it for cost savings? Please try actual windows. They're rather great
Owned armored cars for over 2 decades.
It's a downer to need one, no windows down, heavy af and performance killer.
But it's an amazing secure feeling and there's zero outside noises too.
Where do you buy them or how? To much violence going on nowadays
@@jessies.4589 They are very common in some countries. Most cars can be armored, some better than others of course. I have seen a 1.0L armored car đ. Usually less glass it has with more the engine/brakes/suspension, the best. And used armored cars usually sell cheap, with barely nothing in addition because it depreciates faster.
And Level 3a starts at $7k, so not too expensive. Of course good armor (with less weak points, more overlaps etc) will cost more. I had a bmw that only had armored windows. Took me a while to find that out, luckily I didn't get shot, especially through the doors đ
can I ask what country you live in and the reasons for owning armoured cars?
@@randyandy2809 Brazil. Like I said, it's very, very common in certain cities. Where I'm from there's over 160.000 armored cars around, with the most common (and basic) one being the Corolla, starting at just under US$16.000.
In the US, unless you have specific needs (you are targeted for a reason or live in a handful of more dangerous ghettos) I don't think it's necessary... yet. But things are going the wrong way there for decades so, who knows đ€·.
@@Shadow__133 wow thanks for answering, I was really unaware of how bad it can be in some places
A man like that? Sheesh. Whatever they are paying him isn't enough. Legend!
Gald he took the scum out they are rotting in hell
Leo is a freaking legend. I have had the pleasure in the past of working with some of his contemporaries in some of the less plesent parts of Africa and they are the best of the best and it is a privilege to have known and worked with them.
Well Done! Man stands behind his product, literally!
The situation was a combination of a modest but elite-warrior driver, composed buddy, dependable vehicle and a reliable armor protection. Thank God ALL survived!
Back in the 80s I was a teen living and working on a cattle ranch in BF Montana. I drove an ancient Land Cruiser all over that ranch. Steering was really loose. Brakes were nil. But that thing just kept on truckin'. Never left me stranded. I would love to have one of these newer ones. Armored would be freaking awesome!
Those shots were very accurate, those guys were no rookies.
On behalf of the entire human race, I would like to say that you my friend have balls of steel. How did you even stay calm is such a situation?
giant balls of titanium and decades of experience
Because that is what u need always in any situations. if u panic u lose.
I said brass in another post, but I'll cosign the steel & titanium. He a real life James Bond or Jason Bourne.
Will you come to the after party with me?!?! And why is a capy speaking on behalf of humans? đ€
Years of training and experience in the special forces.
this event amazes me, the training the driver has had and the skillset he posesses just amazes me , that was cool and collected and he took on the first brunt then got lloyd to call the team , this was spot on . the fact he got stuck exhausted his primary weapon and grabbed his riffle and got out to finish the robbery off was just balllsy . hats of to you both having expierienced that . well done guys!
to use the actual armored car to sell them is sound marketing.
Best advertising/marketing they could ever have hoped for. Solid product. Solid engineering.
@@praetorxian Plus, no occupants were injured or killed. It would not have mattered if they were injured or killed upon exiting the vehicle.
Have you noticed how the real-life warriors there are always seem to look like this guy rather than Rocky? Trim and rangy rather than the TV/Movie version of a fighter. Kudos to the fellow for his skill and calm under fire; and example to us all. Also kudos to his 'shotgun' who, given that it was his first week on the job did immensely well not to disintegrate into panic under the circumstances.
The poor guy got a hell of an introduction to the job, huh?
Its very common to have lean guys in special forces for mobility and stamina
I never knew the boys did an interview! my friends that do armed security were talking about the video a ton when it came out. such an awesome clip and i'm glad they made it out in one piece
Same and im glad he sent the robbers to hell
What a top bloke..... I hope ol Leo got a raise....
The fact that they knew their lives meant nothing to their attackers is just so horrifying! That man really did everything right, and thank heavens for that absolute beast of a vehicle!
On the bright side, if you are certain of their intentions, you can so much more easily dispose of any inhibitions.
Knowing they're going to kill you means only one thing: Fight to the death. Get to it.
@@captainotto the same mentality applies to criminals getting shot at...
its kill or be killed and any ethics go out the window.
This is the most phenomenal follow-up video I've ever seen. If I ever need to armor up my vehicle I know who 2 call.đ
You must have a very sad life then. I can name some porn sites, for you, if that helps đ
Epic. I hope your sales went up tremendously, and I hope the gentlemen that helped your vehicle go viral, made something. That's what you call a hard living
Quality product and professional crew. Something we could all learn from.
Wow! That attempted robbery was the best advertisement for your product that you could have ever wished for. Bless the brave driver and a superb product for saving their lives.
South African best accent ever. This guys a pro, years in SAPD STF paid off.
Such a nonassuming guy but in reality a beast. Excellent work!
Many like him in South Africa, especially in the "serious and violent crimes unit".
I watch this video every once and awhile. Iâm truly amazed at his cool demeanor while assessing the situation, driving defensively and giving instructions to his coworker !
To sit behind an already compromised screen was intense imo! Great insight! Be safe out there!
That gentleman is a true badass. To go through such an ordeal and to be smiling about it as he describes it is amazing. Iâm glad he survived!
One has got balls to do that..and 100 percent confidence in the product...that has been put together to save ones life.
These gents in the video are almost calm..they must have had hours of training, to be that confident..even with bullets flying around and aimed at them..
These robbers intended to kill...at whatever cost..
Well done chaps...most impressive đ đ
Was the passenger's fourth day on the job! Look up Leo Prinsloo on Fast and Furious for a great video and interview
Great Job by all........ Leo, Lloyd and ArmorMax. So glad Leo and Lloyd are well and safe. Amazing!
The fact he has such unbelievably detailed recall of the event... I genuinely believe his heart rate was probably comparable to a normal person just going for a walk. Absolute legend.
The way you so calm, seating inside the car, while they shooting at the windows is astonishing, wow. My heart would be racing.
Kudos to you guys, brave souls.
Incredible material ! !! Very gret job for armormax !!! You save 2 lifes !
Hello. I drive for rich people, among a security ascort team, this man did it by the book. Peace and good will to all â
Wow!!! Glad I was sitting down. What confidence in your product! Just WOW!!!
Thank you for the fascinating breakdown. Iâm glad that both your work and the crewâs were highly professional and allowed them to come away safe. I absolutely love that Armoured Cruiser, its a beauty!!
Bruh! the fact that you was driving like stuntman with with a downed wheel on a heavy vehicle. You was the real MVP.
South Africans are pretty much the leading on up-armored and armored vehicles, awesome technology.
I pray that I have an ounce of the courage this guy had if I am ever in a similar situation. This dude is a certified Badass!
i would like a t-shirt with this MAN'S image and the acronym G.O.A.T beneath it
Sitting in a car with a already compromised windshield like a boss!!! Great work fellas
Very nice Up Armor. Saved their lifeâs. He driving Skills Shined that day.
It shows how much confidence he has in his product . When he says to fire at the windscreen where he is sitting less then two feet behind !
Great product, smart marketing,awesome driver .
Holy shit! I've always wanted to see a followup about this. What a legend!
Helluva vehicle, hats off to the designers- and the Brass Balls Award to these two MEN for refusing to give up or surrender to fear.
Everyone is talking about how well trained this guy is which is very true but those thieves had to of been military trained. Very well placed shots on a moving vehicle if the armor hadn't done it's job they would've killed them multiple times. Driver of the Audi was actually really fucking good too he was whipping that shit.
I was thinking that aswel, that first shot was intended to subdue but not kill the driver, when that failed the shooter immediately went for an acurate headshot
Hardly. They're using fully automatic weapons from a dedicated position (not driving and shooting). Firing a weapon at a target as large as this vehicle from less than 40mtrs requires minimal skill.
IF they had elevated skill levels they they would have taken weapons capable of immobilising the vehicle; which are readily available to them.
Alternatively they would have used methods of closing the vehicles in convoy down such as fully loaded rock mover trucks; which has been done before.
No skill... just scummy chancer idiots that didn't realise what they were taking on.
@@hesperhurt you watch too many movies, almost everything you said was wrong.
We have teens in every major city that do this every night lol
I don't think military because in the end it was a very one dimensional robbery. I think military trained guys would have seen this coming. They definitely had huge balls and like you said that Audi driver was fuckin Moving. Good shots but they were obviously cowboys
This guy's a ROCK STAR!! God bless & GREAT vehicle!! Speaks volumes for the drivers skill set & the quality of the build!! GENIUS product!! Fwiw; I would easily trust it!
That's damn good salesmanship and shows great confidence in your product to sit in it and let people shoot at you.
True faith in his product, what an awesome video.
My goodness. This guy has got balls of steel. But then again, armormax seem to know what they are doing.. Fantastic product guys. And yes, well done to the driver and his partner. That was the bravest shit I've ever seen!
Just an incredible demonstration of a live fire with the guy inside the vehicle. This would never be allowed in the US; too many regulations and insurance issues. Much respect.
It wasnât an exercise mate. It was a real attempt to kill and rob them!
@@Adhdad1 Thank you for your comment but my comment was on the demonstration of the effectiveness of the bullet proof glass; while the owner of the company was inside the vehicle.
@@goutvols103 my apologies, I read it incorrectly then. The reference to it being âallowed â, threw me. The footage from the original heist attempt was what I had thought you were referring to. Be well. âïž
I doubt it's even allowed here in South Africa but I guess we just don't give a shit
Its not illegal to do things your insurance wont cover, its just expensive as fuck if something goes wrong.
Who ever thought that Anderson would be a Lefty! ;)
Great Video, good Work an that. Respect to Leo and his Collegues from Europe!
Is so cool to see the aftermath of this attack and Iâm glad the guys inside didnât get hurt.
Mr. Prinsloo is simply amazing.
Absolutely incredible!
The bravery, skill, awareness, speed of thought and composure of that driver is just astounding! And the development of that armour is fantastic!
I didn't expect that guy to sit calmly in the cab whilst that test shot was fired directly at him!
There must be a way developed soon to not need to transit cash like this any more.
Maybe this would be developed faster if the millionaire business owners were made to ride shotgun daily with these drivers!
Those millionaires give those people jobs and product to protect what a weird statement
driver was completely in control, the truck is an amazing bit of kit, true life saver
Amazing vehicle and drivers. It was great that managed to interview Leo as it adds hugely to the story.
We had an uparmoured land cruiser kind of like this in Afghanistan. Thing accelerated and shifted like a Belarusian tractor. The vehicle had been upgraded but the drive train had not.
In a insurance office somewhere, this video is being sent like "Hey, John, isn't this your policy holder?!"
Great driving, great brake down and amazing that both driver and passenger kept theor cool
I was never ready for 14:11 đł these guys mean business.
Wonderful! A video by the vehicle manufacturer explaining in detail what happened as he interviews the man himself, the brave and experienced driver who used that vehicle to fend off thieves in a life threatening attempt. What a courageous man. What a great tool to protect him. Read the comments below about Mr. Leo Prinsloo. For the viral video, simply do a CZcams search on his name, Leo Prinsloo. There are several versions.
The key is this, if you have an owner of the company that believes in his product as you do, Quality, exceptional workmanship and dedication, I will always and forever be a loyal customer to you. The results speak for themselves and people need to consider what your own life is worth, how much money are you willing to spend to save your own life.
Dudes last words could have been "Send it" lol Respect for standing behind your product!
How this man kept his composure demonstrates what a brave professional he is, how he was straight out when car stopped with rifle shows his bravery. I salute you , stat safe
The driver is AWESOME!
Wow.... Toyota land cruiser 79 V8 turbo.....
Super....
Remember seeing the initial attack footage randomly, this was a good follow up to see. Thanks
Very well done this is the reason why we have to have training in our life always we need to be ready for everything
That was insane. This man has ice in his veins. His trainee did well at keeping his cool too. Curious if he decided to keep the job after.
He is a former soldier from some elite unit, so i guess he will stay as long as the equipment is excellent and the paycheck is good.
apprentices last days to a month.
The way this man reacted in the video, it was very clear that he comes from a special unit. Very professional. I hope that they do not have to experience it again.
Great job guys in providing the superb products.
And
Great job to the security guys..
Perfect...
What a hero total badass! And those armoured vehicles are incredible!
I'd take one of those Land Cruisers over a Fully loaded Range Rover, G Wagon etc any day!!! Love Toyota reliability & the utilitarian aspect of these vehicle's. That car saved those men's lives along with that drivers training!!! Glad they were ok
I was a mercenary in Iraq for 2 years and drove an armored land cruiser. Thing was double the weight from all the armor and handled like a boat, but was indestructible. And when that glass takes a bullet a fine powder of glass sprays all over the inside of the vehicle.
Glass doesn't break on the other side unless the window itself was compromised.
@@Spellchecc1OO you have obviously never been shot at or had an ied go off from behind ballistic glass.
@@Spellchecc1OO He didn't say it broke.
@@alalalala57 He didn't need to state that, as what he wrote implies that that must be the case. No fine powder would enter if the other side of the glass wasn't broken in some manner.
@@CrAzYpotpie You assume the powder entered from the outside?
I remember this, driver was incredible. Deserves a serious bonus
Very interesting to hear this story as well as the "tour" on the armour protection. I remember I was in awe when I first saw the assault video.
How much can you trust your product?
Those guys at the end: Yes Sir!
Holy Smokes, that Truck already went through some shit and back, but letting it being shot with already broken glass, by an AK, AR14 and galil while sitting in it with, absolutely no head-protection. Thats absolute trust in their product . Mad respect to you!
How do you know they used a galil?
@@kaneego6281 he said so the one rifle he used to shoot the truck was a "copy"
Made me happy to see that.
Besides being an awesome driver, the guy is fearless. Very Well trained.
And great Armour also.
Amazing video with an amazing follow up.
Crazy ceo knows his stuff love that vehicle. Great video
Leo Prinsloo is a legend.
