Woman Jumps Off Cliff to Flee Attacker

Authorities say a man tried to sexually assault a Malibu jogger who escaped by jumping off a cliff and sliding about 100 feet down a steep hillside… Foxnews story

Joggers should always carry some form of personal protection with them on their run. A container of pepper spray weighs next to nothing and can easily be used should the need arise. Runners are targets for predators because a runner is usually engrossed in their run and not paying attention. Especially if they’re listening to music and can’t hear the outside world.

Jogging With Pepper Spray

I got an email from a reader who became concerned about safety when a neighbor was attacked on an evening jog.

This lady jogs the beach every day after work around 6pm. Up until the time change it was always light outside during her run.

The other night she made her way down to the beach, turned on the iPod and started her 2 mile route.

So it was dark, she had earphones in, the music cranked-up, and no one was around…or so she thought.

During her cool-down a man grabbed her from behind and tried to force her to the ground. She never even heard him coming.

Luckily she was able to fight him off and run for help.

I immediately suggested the Mace Hot Walkers. They are 1lb walking weights with a secret weapon…Pepper Spray. Just point the weight at an attacker’s face and shoot! You even get one Free replacement canister.

Tips for the Single Who Likes to Mingle

It’s Saturday evening, people are making plans to get out and be social. Maybe you’re heading to a favorite pub or night club or even a good sports bar to watch your favorite team.

Whatever it is you’re engaging in this weekend, here are some tips to keep you safe:

- Let someone know where you’re going or what your plans are. If anything happens, at least someone knows where to start looking for you.

- Park in well-lit, highly traveled areas.

- Stick together. A group, even just 2 people, is a harder target for criminals. If you do seperate, set a specific time and place to meet.

- Watch your drink. If your drink is out of sight for any time, throw it away and get a new one. It only takes a second for someone to spike a drink.

- Know your limit if you consume alcohol. If you are suddenly intoxicated after only a couple drinks, get help or find someone you trust immediately.

- Do not drink and drive. Call a cab. You will save yourself the legal trouble and you aren’t risking anyones life.

And always carry a self defense tool. Even if it’s a small pepper spray, it could save your life.
