I saw this clip shared by a member of another forum. It’s a reality tv/ gameshow whereby the contestants are kitted out with a helmet and a bitesuit, set upon by two trained malinois on this particular task.
Apart from entertainment, is it safe?

I also watched this video (it was posted here as "Superhero Malinois") I loved it, very entertaining but some of the "catches" were more like hitting a brick wall made me cringe a little - not good for the dogs getting "jammed" but it looks like they lived thru it unscathed...

The dogs definitely got jammed especially from the first guy.

Lol.... Yeah for Monkey woman!! Looks like the Mals took a little pity on her and at least dragged her part way to the door towards the end... How does the big Macho guy who screamed like a little girl compare to that little chick fighting like that. Too Funny..... I thought " Major Victory" was pretty funny too....... talking in baby voice the whole way with those dogs like bookends hanging off his arms.. then saying "How's my hair? Ha ha... the first guy was a bit of a wall but the dogs did not seemed phased ... have seen much worse hits with trained decoys to be honest. So do you think saying uncle called em' off or the E-collars??

Thanks for posting your comments you guys.
My first thought when I watched the video was hey, what a great way to get volunteer decoys for trained dogs. Can only make them (dogs) feel even more confident to overcome amateurs. However, my concern is for the safety of those amateurs/ untrained decoy in the helmet and suit. Will there/ what are the lightly injuries despite the armour?
Yes, I did see those dogs being jammed head on. Given a chance, I wouldn't mind doing something like this and I ain't no expert in decoy, just curious on safety aspects.
Any comments/ advice please?

Poseidon - do you mean you in a suit or sending your dog on a random person in a suit?
I don't understand what you are asking
