A lead vest is worn by us when we get an Xray this is because -

-The X-ray machine emits harmful alpha and gamma particles.

- These particles are harmful and can harm our skin.

-These particles cannot penetrate through a thick sheet made up of lead.

Thus the lead sheet protects us from the harmful radiations of the machine
