While tear gas and pepper spray may be helpful in some situations, I feel that the Mace Buddi locator device is more practical for everyday usage. It is essentially a personal, portable GPS gadget that tracks where you are so that loved ones can find you if you happen to get lost or into trouble.
Made specifically for children, dementia patients, elderly and those fearing for their safety, the Mace Buddi device features a panic button, voice communication and a 'fall button' if the user crashes to the ground unexpectedly.
