Running Safety Devices

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

These Devices are Perfect for Self Defense if In Danger

— August 16, 2016 — Lifestyle
Maintaining one's fitness often requires running or walking along trails and pathways that are relatively vacant and these running safety devices help to protect people who feel vulnerable in those situations.

The Sabre personal alarm is casually placed on the wrist and is sweat and weather-resistant. If necessary, users can pull on the alarm's clasp to set off a piercing sound that could ward off any danger. The pepper gel is another running safety device that fits around the hand and can deploy pepper spray at attackers. The fact that it is a gel rather than a spray prevents it from blowing back and affecting the user as well as the attacker.

These safety devices ensure the peace of mind or protection of people who may be at risk when exercising outdoors.
Trend Themes
1. Wrist-mounted Personal Alarms - Wrist-mounted personal alarms provide a disruptive innovation opportunity for self-defense by offering a discreet and easily accessible way to ward off potential danger during outdoor activities, such as running or walking.
2. Pepper Gel - Pepper gel running safety devices offer a disruptive innovation opportunity by providing a controlled and non-aerosolized form of pepper spray, enhancing user safety during outdoor exercises.
3. Weather-resistant Safety Gear - Weather-resistant safety gear for outdoor activities, including running, presents a disruptive innovation opportunity to ensure the protection and peace of mind for individuals in potentially vulnerable situations.
Industry Implications
1. Personal Safety - The personal safety industry can explore disruptive innovation opportunities by developing and marketing wrist-mounted personal alarms and other running safety devices to enhance protection during outdoor activities.
2. Self-defense - The self-defense industry can leverage disruptive innovation by creating and promoting pepper gel as a safer and more effective alternative to traditional pepper spray, providing enhanced safety for individuals engaging in outdoor exercises.
3. Sporting Goods - The sporting goods industry can embrace disruptive innovation by producing and distributing weather-resistant safety gear designed specifically for outdoor activities, such as running, to enhance the safety and confidence of individuals in potentially risky situations.
