Dead Hard Not Blocking Hits

I don't have any idea how it should work, but can someone tell me if dead hard is meant to take be able to tank hits? In a recent game I played, I dead harded in between the killer and another survivor to try and tank a hit. The killer swung and the hit went right through me and hit the other person. Was It just lag and the other survivor wasn't supposed to get hit or is that just not how dead hard is meant to work?

it makes you temporarily invulnerable, its not like bt or metal of man which lets you "tank a hit", it makes the killer miss you

Dead Hard gives you I frames and a little bit of distance to make sure the killer can't consistently outlunge the duration. I find it incredibly amusing that you ran toward an injured survivor, gave him/her false hope that you were going to take the down, and then used Dead Hard to get out of the way XD
