英国一家专门研制和生产防护型产品的公司近期推出了一款售价125英镑的伞，他们表示这款“牢不可破的伞”不仅可以防雨，还可以随身携带做防身之用。据设计人员介绍，这款雨伞主体由高科技钢材料制成，本身重量只有775克，但是能够承受一个人的重量。该公司发言人表示，这款雨伞是外出防身的绝佳之选，它的材质没有任何违规的成分，与普通伞一样，而且随身携带到任何场合都不会引起怀疑。
An unbreakable umbrella which protects against rain and muggers has been unveiled.
Designers of the £125 Unbreakable Umbrella claim their invention made of hi-tech steel can support the weight of a man and can be wielded like a baseball bat.
Makers Real Self-Defense say their brolly is as strong as a steel pipe despite weighing only 775g and is already proving a hit across the UK and Europe.
They claim it is perfect for use as a self-defense weapon, particularly when combined with knowledge of martial arts training such as Kendo, a Japanese style of fencing.
In the company's promotional video a besuited middle-aged man can be seen splitting watermelons and attacking a punch bag with his unbreakable brolly.
It is then raised and folds out to form a regular looking black umbrella.
A spokesman for Real Self-Defense, based in Vermont, USA, said the umbrella was a vital tool for staying protected on the streets.
He said: ''Our Unbreakable Umbrella has no unusual parts, no more metal than an average umbrella, it does not arouse suspicion, can be carried legally everywhere where any weapons are prohibited.
''Anyone who can use a stick for defense can use this umbrella. Do you know how to swing a baseball bat? Do you know how to strike with a sturdy stick? If you do, you know all you need to know.''
The Unbreakable Umbrella is available to buy in the UK from Tactical Things in Colchester, Essex, with a straight or curved handle. |
