im warning you , dont touch me, or you will get shocked (literally) Options

+INTRODUCTION

According to the Senate Judiciary Committee, three out of four women in the United
States will be victims of one violent crime during their lifetime.

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 shocking 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 of a shock to
effectively and immediately deter contact with her body and provide a critical life saving
option 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.

Would you buy it ? , Do you think its a good idea

[The-Mach-Hare]

i didnt read much past the first sentence but i think its wrong (this coming from a guy) to mistreat a lady in any shape or form.

they are equals and some are better than guys, ill admit it.

[lovescream]

Cool. That seems rad.
Heh, I'd probably have it for my own fun.. But what if I accidently touch myself without thinking and shock myself? Buzz. Ow.

[toodlepops.]

^Yeah, exactly.
But that seems good if you're going out.

[beautifuls0ul_x3]

cool idea but no thanks, i wouldn't buy it. although i could have some fun with it haha J/K

[Nicolatofu]

I actually think I'd try it. But knowing my and all of my good luck, I'd probably shock myself. I'm willing to try it though! I'm afraid of going out alone because of things like that..

[*salcha*]

^Yeah, exactly.
But that seems good if you're going out.

but then, now your bf can't touch you.

[BrokenDream]

Seems awesome. Great for perverts and anyone that wants to kill you :. Haha, just kidding. But what if you touch yourself?

[misoshiru]

interesting, but i wouldnt buy it. you'd shock too many other people. imagine pushing through a crowded street in that jacket. dozens of people would be shocked.

I think it sounds pretty stupid. What's the chance you'll get assaulted instead of a friend coming by and playfully grabbing you from behind or a stranger in a rush who's running around and accidentally bumps into you. And like x__forever said, it's just too much a hassle. It sounds like a cool idea at first, but it seems to me it's more like a weapon women have permission to wear. You're not special; you're not going to get killed tomorrow. Buying this is a waste of money.

And it probably can't protect you from bullets or other weapons.

[*jooleeah*]

It would be fun....but what would happen if you shocked yourself?

The shock doesn't work unless you activate it.

[aera]

i would get it. i mean, if i turn around and its some evil dude, id just activate it and they go bye bye. and then i'll run for my life. =]

[sammi rules you]

what if you're just like walking and accidentally run into someone? i'd feel so bad..

[*stephinika*]

hmm...its hard to say. i probably wouldn't buy one, but for a free trial - perhaps. it has its pros and cons as all things do.

[loljuliana]

i dont think i would buy it. no one would be able to touch you. and it seems hot. you wouldnt be able to wear it comfortably during the summer.

my friend told me about this bra that's coming out next year. when you are in trouble; and your heart rates speeds up; it sends a message to the police. it can also tell the difference between you laughing or anything else that makes your heart beat quicken in a good way; and when you are afraid.

[[x]Mari[x]]

It seems like the kind of thing someone would make up on a middle school science project or something. O_o

What if you accidently shocked a friend... or even worse, yourself?

I guess people would actually think of buying that if they live alone in bad neighborhoods or something... or paranoid people. .______.;;;

[*iNyCxShoRT*]

I wouldn't buy it. What if your friend wanted to tell you something, but you can't hear them so they tap you. And then BUZZZZ bye bye best bud x__x

[[x]Mari[x]]

I just realized something...

Is there an off-on button? If not, how would you get it on? O__O Furthermore, wouldn't it shock you if you were wearing it?

[BrokenDream]

what if you're just like walking and accidentally run into someone? i'd feel so bad..

Exactly...

[angelrevelation]

lol i agree. i wouldn't buy it... probably. i mean, if you want to hug someone you need to take the jacket off. and what if you're in a crammed hallway or something? not such a good idea..

[yukichan]

No i wouldnt buy one..what if i shocked myself or my friends?

[whomps]

It looks cool, like a freaking jacket from the Matrix.

And it only shocks when you activate it, people.

[freeflow]

its a really cool idea , but accidently shocking yourself or a friend is kind of sad and pain. soo i wouldnt buy it myself.

[BrokenDream]

Or I have another idea:

Me: *pets cat* Your so cute!
Cat: Meow! *jumps into your arms and accidently touches the vest*

x_x

Gosh that's wrong. My cat would probably hate me. Well, my cat willalways love me, so yeah , lol.

[angel-roh]

Hm... I would wear it if I was at the Iraq War ROFL. Good use for that. But no good use in america. i barely see dangerous around me.
