That last part is bullshit. If the force distributed across the plate were enough to break bones, then firing the rifle would dislocate the shoulder of the shooter.
Just because a plate stopped a bullet, doesn't mean the plate then distributed that force evenly across it's whole surface. The bulge on the back side of an impacted plate doesn't form gently.
Maybe on a plate from 1965 that is just a sheet of steel inside cloth. Modern ceramic plates spread the energy of the impact.
Here's a video of a Level IV plate taking a 30.06 AP round followed by like 6 5.56 AP rounds and a 7.62x54R AP round so powerful it jammed the rifle.
There's no significant plate bulge even after all of that.

Well, body armor has certainly improved from what i can tell 😅
Mind you, this is what people wear going into combat. It's for military, SWAT, etc.
An everyday police vest wouldn't take that kind of beating.
