There are so many products out there for self-defense, even quirky products like this umbrella which is described as “just as strong as a steel pipe” and was shown to have the power of splitting a watermelon. I can only imagine what it would do to an attacker.
Here is a list of three articles with self-defense strategies that unfortunately do not utilize fruit in a demonstration of effectiveness:
- This one has a description about how to get away from someone coming after you with a bat, knife, and/or a gun. I have not seen a tutorial about this before, but why not at least scan through it in case it does happen!
- The next article has the slogan of “Protect yourself using everyday items!” After looking through the sketches and descriptions, I find the most useful objects may just be a pen or sanitizer spray from their given list. Products seen all the time now have a totally new use for self-defense!
- Lastly, here is a list of safety tips which mostly have to do with being aware of your surroundings and not walking in secluded areas alone!
Whether you decide to purchase self-defense items or even take self-defense courses is up to you, but the least you can do is take the time to have a few emergency plans memorized just in case!
