Kevlars only issue is when it burns. It can asphyxiate quickly due to the fumes it releases. But it is very good if somebody wants to shoot at you! lol

To answer your question in regard to CF/kevlar mixed composites, then yes it is better than straight CF. But like what was said before in this post yes your major concern is will I walk again, will I live? Well yes these are in fact true, but imagine spending another 6 months going through repeated sugical proceedures due to CF splinters in your body. In my views CF is not that pretty, or valuble, as to risk the odds. It is far better to just run fiberglass, or laser printed plastic that looks like CF. If your concern is weight, there are Many other ways to lose the pounds, that are much safer!
