No Contact – Defensive Jacket
“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 rmor 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.”
This really makes me wonder do we really need something like this… I really don’t know.. What do you think?

One thing that bugs me about this is that I don’t think it will work if the attacker is wearing rubber boots or gloves. I could be wrong though. It’s a fantastic invention.

I can imagine the cost of this Jacket making it useless for the general public – Maybe a specialised application should be considered, such a niche use would be for armed forces or such.
