How and why personal devices work?

Carrying a personal alarm is a convenient way to immediately improve your personal safety and you’ll feel a whole lot safer too. Although these alarms are loud, typically an ear piercing 130dB+ high pitched sound that will attract the attention of nearby public or Police, what if no-one is in earshot?

Contrary to what you might think, personal safety devices are designed to scare off the attacker before an attack or disorientate your attacker so you can use precious seconds to react and get away. Whilst intervention from the public or Police would be ideal it’s probably in most cases not the reality of where an attack is likely to take place i.e. in public.
