How does a Taser workon the body

Anywhere you use the high voltage stun device will be effective but the most vulnerable places on a human body to stun is the upper shoulder, the upper hip, and below the rib cage. All of the effects are temporary and doesn’t cause any permanent harm, but it will allow you enough time to escape from your attacker.

Stun guns work by pressing a pair of electrodes against the victim in order to create an electric circuit. (Most use 9-volt batteries, or a handful of AAs.) Tasers differ from standard stun guns in that the electrodes are tethered to long, insulated wires and can be fired from the weapon with a burst of carbon dioxide. A standard stun gun or cattle prod can only be used at close range; Tasers can shoot someone from 20 feet away.

I bought the knife alone months ago and loved how easy it was to carry even with winter running gloves. Then saw the new taser knife combo and decided to upgrade. The combo definitely gives me more peace of mind on my runs and the sound of the taser alone will scare the sh** out of anyone. I now feel that I can control a situation to keep myself safe.

Go Guarded HAND-HELD provides double the protection – Stun Gun AND a Go Guarded knife! Due to the two features, it is practical for both deterring an attack with the stun gun and escaping a hands-on assault with the blade.   And it straps around the back of the hand for convenient hands-free carry.

The Go Guarded mission is to provide empowerment through innovative self-defense products that are practical and effective for female runners and other on-the-go individuals.

Independent investigators will look into last Tuesday’s incident on the UCLA campus, in which a student was subjected to five Taser shocks by the university police. (Here’s a video.) Meanwhile, Taser International Inc. has filed lawsuits in Ohio and Indiana against coroners who have cited “electrical pulse incapacitation” as a cause of death. How do these things work, anyway?

Go Guarded takes self-defense for women very seriously and knows that attacks can happen in a variety of ways. The Go Guarded hand-held, the best self-defense knife for a woman, was developed to provide women with two options to defend themselves. If a potential attacker can be warned off and deterred with the stun device, fantastic, but if not and the situation turns into a hands-on attack, that’s where the self-defense knife comes into play and you can take advantage of the sharp blade. Unlike other self-defense products, the Go Guarded Hand-Held is attached to your hand and will not easily be taken and used against you. This allows you to have full control over your self-defense weapon and makes it ideal for the best option of knives for runners.

The Go Guarded blade is made from heavy-duty glass-reinforced nylon which makes it lightweight and easy to carry. The self-defense knife is convenient, comfortable, and effective. One of the best-rated knives for runners and active individuals.

Once the electrodes hit their target, the Taser sends a pulse with about 50,000 volts and a few milliamps. On its standard setting, the pulse cycles for five seconds before shutting off. (The pulse continues for as long as you hold the trigger.) The five-second shock sends intense signals through the victim’s nervous system, which causes considerable pain and triggers a contraction in all his muscles. Temporary paralysis can set in, and most victims fall to the ground. Tasers can also be used like regular stun guns in what’s called “drive stun” mode. This causes more localized pain and less widespread muscle contraction.

I really like the feeling of safety while carrying this. I carry the flashlight noise maker in my pocket as well. I do have to be careful though, as the stun device is very easy to activate .

It's so easy to use, charge, etc. I feel safer with that in one hand and my knife ring on the other hand. I wear them in the dark or daylight now. You can't be too safe! Thanks for making this!

Touching the stun device anywhere on the assailant’s body will have an effect. And you don’t have to be concerned about the effects of the charge being transferred to you. Even if the assailant touches you while being stunned, you will not feel the effects of the charge. Touching an assailant for about a second will cause minor muscle contractions and repel them quickly. If you touch them for three to five seconds it will cause loss of balance and muscle control, mental confusion, and disorientation. It is advised that the device should not be used for longer than five seconds.

Stun gun vsTaser

Amnesty International contends that Taser shocks may be implicated in the deaths of more than 150 people since 2001, and coroners have cited stun-gun shocks as a factor in more than 20 deaths over that period. Researchers who Tasered anesthetized pigs have found little permanent damage, and there’s  scant evidence that the shocks would be fatal for healthy adults. Victims who are intoxicated or have pre-existing heart conditions may be at greater risk. Repeated shocks from a Taser may also be more dangerous.

Ring is available in two sizes: medium (fits ring size 5 to 9) and large (fits ring size 10-14). Both ring sizes come with inserts to adjust the size of the ring. When the ring is used, blade cover will automatically flex out of the way on impact

The LED flashlight works with a touch sensor. Placing your finger over the probes will turn the flashlight on – removing it turns it off. The flashlight will turn off automatically after 20 minutes of constant use to prevent draining the battery.

The design also features battery status indicator lights so you will never be without a full charge. The unit has rechargeable batteries already installed. To charge, plug the mini-USB end into the charging port on the stun device and the other end into your USB charging device. The battery Indicator Lights flashes while charging. Four solid lights indicate a full charge. It is recommended that you charge the unit for 3-4 hours prior to its first use.

They deliver a lot of volts, but very few amps. Stun guns shoot an electrical pulse that’s designed to go through clothing and skin and give someone a nasty shock. A very high voltage ensures that the pulse will reach its target, and the very low amperage keeps it from doing any lasting damage. It’s helpful to analogize these measures with water pressure: A high voltage is akin to water that’s flowing at high pressure, while a low amperage is like water that’s not flowing very quickly. The injury inflicted by an electric shock depends on the interaction between the “pressure” and “flow rate” of the electricity. (The area and duration of contact also make a difference.)

Bonus Explainer: How do lightning strikes compare to Taser blasts? Lightning kills its victims 10 percent to 20 percent of the time. The bolts send a much nastier shock—a few milliseconds at 300,000 volts and tens of thousands of amps—but only a small portion of their energy actually penetrates the skin. (The rest runs over the surface of the body, in what’s called lightning “flashover.”) Taser pulses, which have only the tiniest fraction of this amperage, deliver a more efficient shock to the victim via the electrodes. Even so, Taser shocks do little or no lasting damage. Lightning strikes often cause heart attacks, severe burns, and long-term neurological problems.

My wife is a marathon runner and she takes the product with her everywhere she goes. She never leaves home without it. She is excited that she can run her long runs by herself and with protection always. Thank you for this great product and Izzy also says "Thank you".

Easy accessibility is the key to effectively defending yourself. Not having to fumble with the switches and buttons of a traditional stun device saves you valuable time when you need to defend yourself.

Sometimes, just test firing this unit into the air is often enough to deter an attacker.  As the electric current pulsates across the top, it creates an intimidating electrical sound.

How to use: Adjust the strap to comfortably fit your hand. The rubber coating covering the blade will automatically flex out of the way when the blade is engaged. Read our blog for more self-defense tips.

The manufacturer warns that Taser shocks may cause breathing problems, skin irritation, small puncture wounds, or minor burns, and that the violent muscle contractions can result in “athletic-type injuries.” Police officers are also instructed to “avoid weapon confusion”; i.e., don’t mistake your handgun for a stun gun.
