The Bodyguard by David Brown Will Help You Fight off Unwanted Attacks

— June 2, 2011 — Tech
David Brown is a normal everyday guy who makes a living by being a cameraman, editor and producer. The Bodyguard is his personal invention that has taken seven years to create and now it may be finally set for release.

The Bodyguard is a personal armor sleeve with a glove attachment to stay snug and secure. Attached to the sleeve is a video camera, laser pointer and taser. All is reinforced with an armor plate to ensure some brute power when resisting attack.

The idea came to Brown when he was out cycling with some friends and a mountain lion came and attacked them. One was viciously killed by the lion so he knew it was time he made something to protect people in those types of dangerous situations.
