| 120dB PERSONAL ATTACK ALARM* from PersonalAlarmsOnline.com, 1-800-595-6930 The following information is provided by PersonalAlarmsOnline.com:
"What would you do if you were faced with the possibility that you could be mugged or worse? A great solution is to carry a personal alarm. These security alarms are very light electronic units that are easy to carry with you anywhere you go. They have a small panic cord that is pulled to activate the alarm, which then produces an ear-piercing shriek that can be heard for a significant distance. An unmistakable SOS, it will do what a criminal likes least- draw attention to himself. This high decibel safety alarm will continue to sound until the cord is placed back inside the unit. Throwing the cord as far away as you can will make it difficult for someone to stop it from making noise and leave them with the choice of going after it or take the time to break it, all which puts him in the position of having to waste valuable time dealing with it rather than being able to focus on you. This self-defense device is a great idea for the elderly, women, children and anyone who spends time out of the house. This mini sized alarm is surprisingly small compared to the tremendous noise that it produces. Its compact size makes it very easy to carry. It can be stored in a pocket, purse, attached to a key chain or a belt." |
