A Shocking Jacket For Personal Protection

http://www.no-contact.com/images.html

The No-Contact Jacket is a wearable defensive jacket created to aid women in their struggle for protection from violence. When activated
by the wearer, 80,000 volts of low amperage electric current pulses just below the surface shell of the entire jacket. This exo-electric
armor prevents any person from unauthorized contact with the wearer's body. If an assailant were to grab hold of the wearer the high
voltage exterior would interrupt their neurological impulses which control voluntary muscle movement. The neuromuscular
system would be overwhelmed causing disorientation and loss of balance to occur and of course pain. The pain experienced is non-lethal
but is enough to effectively and immediately deter contact with the wearer and provide a critical life saving oppurtunity for escape.

The goal of the No-Contact Jacket is to call attention to violence against women and to offer an alternative response to the body's
vulnerable space and boundaries that society, culture and fashion have created.

In the photos you can actually see the electric current near the shoulder area.

6. I bought the jock strap version

I love this jacket. If worn on a crowded metro during rush hour you can get a seat, maybe three seats. Works great in busy office building elevators, too.

2. Perhaps in a police state all citizens should be wearing these?

Making it harder to get hauled away, etc....

9. In a police state...

...the police would be able to deactivate the jacket, regardless of what the wearer would want it to do.

8. It's so futuristic - scary.

Actually, though, in the video the guy didn't seem to be hurt, like he would if he'd been tased.

I bet these will become a pretty big seller.

10. Now you can taser a whole bus load of people

every time the bus hits a pothole, or makes a sharp turn. Just imagine bouncing off all those people and leaving a trail of writhing agony in your wake. What a feeling of power.

I imagine a robber could use it also to prevent anyone from trying to detain him at the scene.
