The Unbreakable Walking-Stick Umbrella

In the absence of gusts of wind, it might be a good test to open the umbrella, then thrust forward and tug backwards vigorously to see if the canopy will flip over.

On a lighter note, how about the James Bond method of jumping from a considerable height and have the umbrella slow your descent? :D
 
Let's ask the new James Bond for his opinion. I don't think any umbrella would slow my descent from a considerable height.
 
"..unlike a walking stick it does not cause strange looks if carried by an able-bodied person.."

I can relate to this. I carry a cane for dog defense. Why? Because an ASP (concealed or not) can land me in jail and a baseball bat would result in even stranger looks. :D More importantly, the access is INSTANT. However, to address the manufacturer's claim, the umbrella could get you "strange looks" too on a sunny day.

But, one should worry about legality more than about image.

Good idea. :thumbup:

And canes are legal. I took what was more a hiking stick than a cane on a plane. No complaints, no strange looks.

I am trying to convince myself to buy this umbrella, though. I can always use a good umbrella, and I hate the thought of carrying a cane and an umbrella at the same time. And what do I do with a folded, wet umbrella when I get where I'm going? :)
 
Hmph. I betcha I could break it. Never met an umbrella I couldn't break.

If you give the thing to a kid, I bet it'll be in tatters in minutes. Children devour umbrellas.

No worries. :thumbup:

My answer would be it helps shield me from the sun. I'm mindful of skin cancer because my grandmother has suffered from it.

And that's the truth. :)
