Umbrella protects against rain… and muggers
Designers have created an umbrella which they claim will protect you not only against the rain, but also muggers.Self defence experts say the super sturdy brolley is strong enough to support the weight of a man, but can also be wielded like a weapon.

Makers say this means you can use it to protect yourself, especially if combined with martial arts training such as Kendo.
To prove the strength of the self defence umbrella makers love showing it off by using it to chop watermelons… something we wouldn't be able to resist doing if we could afford one.

"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…"
