Kali Will Save You is a new type of life-belt that looks like a small hand-grenade, which means you can throw it much further.
When it hits the water, its two constituent chemicals combine and expand. (think polyisocyanurate or similar) This causes the toughened, deflated Kali figure to escape from
its foetal position and erupt into full life size.
Being multi-armed means that there are many limbs for the drowning victim(s) to reach out and grab, as they wait for rescue, clutching for dear life the arms or legs of the usually deadly Kali. (see link)
(doubles up as a distraction weapon to be tossed into rooms in hostage situations)

This is a good idea on two facets. Firstly the eminently
sensible idea of the expanding life belt which is compact
and can be thrown further. Secondly, big style points for
the
Kali arms. [+] |
|
| |
The idea of an expanding foam lifebelt is, I think, a
good one. |
|
| |
I wonder if conventional inflatable lifejackets are
prone to punctures? If so, then filling them with
polyurethane foam would be much better than
filling them with air or CO2. |
|

My limited understanding of Hindu gods leaves me with the impression that Kali is usually female, but not always. The depiction link shows what I believe to be a male version.... but perhaps not? (edited to make Kali noncommittal) |
|
| |
//The depiction link shows what I believe to be a
male version// If it's a male, what's it doing with
those prominent blue breasts? |
|
| |
On the other hand, I've never known a woman with
blue breasts either, so I guess this proves nothing. |
|
| |
with a belt of trophy shrunken male heads - its female. |
|
| |
Better than a priapus version. |
|
| |
I recall something about Kali often being portrayed
exhibiting male parts to demonstrate that she has 'sexually
devoured' her male counterpart god. Could beway off, it's
been ages since I read about Hindu things. |
|
| |
A grenade-like expanding flotation aid designed for better
throwing is genius. To those with swiftwater rescue skills,
this would be a pinpoint tool thrown like a fastball. |
|
| |
Do not panic! Spread your arms and point your feet
downstream. Expanding croissant-shaped floatation
grenade incoming. |
|
| |
Supposedly those are not the shrunken heads of men [po] but the cut off the heads of the children of others, and these she wears as a garland around her neck.
Would the caster of such a device then become a mudra-er? |
|
| |
To calm her down and to protect the stability of the world, Shiva is sent to the battlefield, as an infant, crying aloud. Seeing the child's distress, Kali ceases dancing to take care of the helpless infant. She picks him up, kisses his head, and proceeds to breast feed the infant Shiva. This myth depicts Kali in her benevolent, maternal aspect; something that is revered in Hinduism, but not often recognized in the West. |
|
| |
nope, they are wrinkled male faces with moustaches... |
|
| |
Ah yes, belt, sorry [po] my bad.
Floor: Current beau... with moobs. |
|
| |
We consider a "Cthulhu" version would be equally, if not more, attractive. |
|
| |
Imagine the situation from the point of view of the potential drownee: your state of distress having been noticed by those on shore, a small, dark object flies trough the air and lands nearby with a splash; it sinks immediately. |
|
| |
A few seconds later, the water nearby heaves and swirls, bubbles of gas arise, and then a gigantic, multi-tentacled greyish-green slimy monstrosity, the very stuff of nightmares, erupts from the water and starts to extend its sticky, sucker-encrusted pseudopodae towards you in a deeply disturbing way ... |
|
| |
Change of underwear not included. |
|
| |
Bun witheld, as original idea makes no mention of projecting the lifesaving device using pyrotechnics or propellants. |
|
| |
We, as a Collective, welcome our new multi-tentacled collaborators. Cthulhu F'thagn ! |
|
| |
I'm sure a bazooka-like propane cannon could be easily
developed for this purpose. |
|
| |
Difficult to imagine a way of
extending sticky, sucker-encrusted pseudopodae
towards someone that would be only superficially
disturbing. |
|
| |
You know, like antipodes, but less hostile and more pretentious. |
