I have wondered why no one has invented a spiked vest for use in jungles with large snakes.
You know, I just bet there actually is such a thing, and someone might just post a pic.
Maybe.
Brilliant idea. Make federal government workers wear it too. It will keep down the sexual assaults.
Do a search on the Lambton Worm. According to legend, that’s exactly how it was defeated :)
1) You swing your arms around a lot in the jungle, so you’d gash yourself up pretty badly, and the vest would snag every vine, creeper, branch, and frond along the way.
2) Snakes aren’t very bright. In all likelihood, the snake would only realize that it had been punctured long after you had stopped breathing.
