The Key to Self-Defense by

What is a hairy frog?

Nicknamed, "the horror" frog, this amphibian can break its own bones in order to protect itself from predators.

How can this benefit humans?

A self-defense piece can be created to help defend people, especially women, who feel threatened while they are out and about.

Prototype 1

emily_alexander577 — 2017-10-02 22:27:51 UTC

In prototype 1, there was a keychain that was created and there was a safety pin on it. This needed to be altered because if someone attacks and you do not have your keys, then it is useless.

Prototype 2

In prototype 2, a bracelet was made and there were 4 safety pins that are small and they clip on and off. This needed to be altered because the safety pins are hard to get off and they are not sturdy.

Prototype 3

In prototype 3, the bracelet has transformed into a more durable material, a chain that wraps around multiple times. Linked within the chain is a fork that has been curled to where it can be used around your finger and act like the frog's claws.

What else are they useful for?

The claws are useful for self defense but they are also useful when needing to use nails to scratch and retrieve something. Also, they could be useful when trying to cut things.

The problem:

The number of people being attacked is increasing everyday. This is especially prevalent in young women.

Right there with you...

When someone feels threatened, the bracelet on his or her arm should make him or her feel a little more secure. The "claw" is easily assessable for when you are in an emergency.

Since humans cannot physically have claws to protect themselves, this creation can act as the same thing and be unnoticeable at the same time.

How is the final product sustainable?

emily_alexander577 — 2017-10-03 01:22:25 UTC

The final product has a sturdy chain and the fork (which would act as the claw for this representation) is going to be sharper and more likely to hold up better than the safety pins that were used earlier.
