JR West Japan Develops Anti-Stab Umbrellas for Onboard Use
JR West Japan has developed anti-stab umbrellas.
The purpose of deploying anti-stab umbrellas is to confront perpetrators wielding knives, allowing passengers time to evacuate to another car. The umbrellas are made from hard-to-cut fabric and engineered for high strength and a long handle, making them easy to handle even for individuals with less physical strength. They will gradually be equipped in vehicles operating in the Kinki region.
