An Idea For Any Inventor

[Ric.ror]

Might I suggest designing a line of children's clothes with a layer of bubble wrap in them
I'd buy them and so would many other paranoid grannies

[DTCwordfan]

as long as they had a built-in electric shock prod and a voice to say "Don't do that or else I'll zap you!"

[Togo]

They would be like those guys out of Dude Where's My Car.

Oh your all laughing now but you just wait

[Hopkirk]

Sounds a bit sweaty to me.

[Hopkirk]

Why not take it one stage further

'Paranoid grannies' should learn to relax and let their grandkids climb trees like we used to do!

I'm not a granny yet, but it might not be too long. My mum used to annoy me slightly by telling my son "Don't run" when he appeared to working up to a quick walk as a toddler. I think I'll be even worse with my so far non-existent grandchild.

[trt]

For what reason?

Unless the plastic bubble was fireproof, no chance.

[Cloverjo]

Ric.ror, has something happened, or nearly happened, to your grandchild?

[Ric.ror]

Nothing has happened but I see danger at every corner

Chris - you try stopping them climbing trees riding scooters etched - that's the problem ;-))

[aelmpvw]

wouldn't they start popping on a crowded bus?

[Ric.ror]

Ok well what about something like a life jacket that you can inflate for certain occasions like tree climbing, scootering, ice skating etc

[Ric.ror]

Now you have all been a little bit negative about this but I have just thought of another potential selling point
We are constantly seeing pensioners who are able bodied but hesitant in their walking - well this is just the thing for them to give them extra confidence. All I need is someone to design it and I could make a million
Anyone have Lord Dyson's contact details?
I think he's the man to take this to the next level

[jomifl]

and cover the outside with tennis balls.

[bednobs]

sorry to disappoint you ricror, but several products already exist to either prevent falls from height, or to protect people if they do fall (inflateable jackets etc)

If Elf & safety had their way, our kids would be travelling around in those big balloon type thingys that you climb in and go down a hill.

[Ric.ror]

No I am talking about padded trousers, jackets etc for everyday wear

Now look here Madam!!! I'm an able bodied pensioner who walks with confidence but who falls over frequently......and no it's not the pop.....

I'm just beginning to have to work a little at keeping the middle age spread from spreading....and you want me to wear a layer of bubble wrap???? Under my LBD????......My floaty trousers????......My hip hugging jeans?????

Ric.....I'm five foot nothing.....I'd just roll away!.....

Then there's the aging bladder to consider.......Public loos are tiny......would my bubble wrapped knees bend or would legs have to stick out braced against the door while I sat there....arms pinioned against the walls?......

Lots for you to think about before contacting Mr Dyson.......☺
