I was on the fencing team in high school. We had low-amperage 12v equipment. Sweating through it to the conductive layer hurt like a bitch. I don't want to bump into a woman wearing one of these and go flying back. Not only would it hurt, it would make me look like I was trying to attack her. If you've ever had an injury on an extremity, it's amazing to se how many times a day you bump it against something that you normally wouldn't notice. Sometimes, that thing is another person. What if that person is running at 80k volts? Is my heart going to act up? I smy watch going to still work? Is my mp3 player (not exactly cheap) going to get it? What do you do about the kid who decides that this is an ideal way to stop the bullies in school? The kid, the school, the manufacturer are all going to get sued.
Some things are better left alone.
