Tornadoes are pretty devastating as far as natural phenomena go, and while tornado and storm shelters do a good job protecting inhabitants, not everybody has access to one, which is why protective shields are a great idea. Bearing this in mind, Missouri-based entrepreneur Steve Anderson created the Tuuli Armor Tornado Shield, which is pretty much a giant bag you can climb into.
Once you zip yourself up inside the protective shield, you lie down on the floor in the safest place you can find. Unfortunately, the shield won't save you from being crushed but it will ward off flying debris, which are the most common cause of injuries among tornado victims.
Anderson has taken to Indiegogo to raise funds for production of the Tornado Shield. A pledge of $320 will hook you up with one if the campaign hits its fundraising target.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Protective Shields
- Innovative protective shields for natural disasters like tornadoes provide new opportunities for protective gear manufacturing and engineering enterprises.
- Crowdfunding for Disaster Relief Products
- Crowdfunding platforms like Indiegogo and Kickstarter can be utilized as an effective tool for raising funds and support for disaster relief and protective equipment businesses.
- Transportable Safety Solutions
- Developing portable safety solutions for people without access to storm shelters during natural disasters like tornadoes offers great opportunities for transportation and logistics industries for disaster relief and emergency management.
Sectors Adopting This
- Protective Gear Manufacturing
- Safety movement for protective gear manufacturing can capitalize on the growing demand for innovation and technology to provide solutions for natural disasters and emergency management.
- Crowdfunding Platforms
- Crowdfunding platforms like Indiegogo and Kickstarter can provide opportunities for disaster relief and protective equipment businesses to raise capital in a sustainable way.
- Emergency Management
- Emergency management and disaster relief industries can provide better solutions for natural disasters like tornadoes by developing and implementing innovative and sustainable protective equipment like the Tuuli Armor Tornado Shield.
