A series of mass shootings in schools and a powerful gun lobby seem to make the US an unsafe place particularly for young children.

 

A US firm, ProTecht has introduced bulletproof blankets that schoolchildren can use to survive massacres. The Bodyguard Blanket comes in different sizes and is made from materials used by the military.

 

The company said on its website: "Bodyguard blanket can be easily fastened around a child or adult, and is amazingly lightweight.

 

"When seconds count, Bodyguard blanket can provide a quick, simple solution for maximum protection against a school intruder.

 

"Bodyguard blanket can provide protection when used properly in many settings. These include, home, highway (cars and trucks), workplace, shopping centre, amusement park, sporting event or any other location where people reside."
