Split leather is leather created from the fibrous part of the hide left once the top-grain of the rawhide has been separated from the hide.

In those cases, there is little one can do to mitigate damage, said Dr. DiMaio and Dr. Martin L. Fackler, a former military surgeon. âThe best thing, they say, is run,â Dr. DiMaio said. If a gunshot victimâs heart is still beating upon arrival at a hospital, there is a 95 percent chance of survival, Dr. DiMaio said. (People shot in vital organs usually do not make it that far, he added.) Shots to roughly 80 percent of targets on the body would not be fatal blows, Dr. Fackler said.
