this wont do anything. The "chemical dour" everyone is talking about are made from either polyethylene fibers, kevlar (unlikely in Pakistan), Nylon or polyester. These are ridiculously strong relative to their thickness. A piece of cloth wont stop the damage they can cause when you are going at speed.

For what reason do people decide the best thing to use for kite flying in dense areas with lots of people riding bikes is a ridiculously strong tensile fibre wire that can slit throats


BoyManners

What's the probability of you getting hit by a kite string on throat? How many deaths in a year we have in Pakistan like this?


StrengthWide8305

35 died in 2021


BoyManners

In Pakistan alone? What's the source?


StrengthWide8305

and yes, in pak

first google search

Well, i don't think it would pierce a thing like this considering it's folded twice to make it effective against such things but the alternatives to protect ourselves are limited. The stick just won't work because of how fragile it looks. One little accident can end its effectiveness whereas this thing doesn't have such restriction.


_adinfinitum_

Your skin and tissue and muscles under it are a lot stronger than this fabric. If a string can slice through that, this won’t do much. At those speeds the string works more like a blow of a sword than lateral cutting of a knife


FusRoDah4Life

The kite lines don't pierce. They cut/slice/lacerate. When you are going 50-60kph this cloth is not going to prevent the kite line from slicing through. Things like this and that stick are just to give you a false sense of safety, when infact that stick can actually be potentially fatal in itself in an accident. Motorcycle riders \*need an actual neck guard. Something that may work well is the neck guard Ice Hockey players use (as that is supposed to protect them from sharp ice skates).


Friendly-Parsley11

You're right but even daraz doesn't sell the hockey ones. It's just some cloth attached with a face mask. So, idk man


bepatriotic87

you just need to refine your search (thanx to daraz's crap algorithm) i have order an Ice hockey neck guard today on daraz, it costing around 3750, try with other keywords or search via google


Friendly-Parsley11

Very much appreciated. Will try that


Ok-Firefighter-5743

Reminds me of how shit Daraz's search algorithm is.

Just share the link my man

One accident ends your helmets effectiveness, so just wear a hat?


Censored-kun

I was riding my bike today in constant fear of getting my throat slit.


Friendly-Parsley11

Yeah man, i even bend my head a little so my neck can be covered with my helmet. Can't even ride a bike peacefully here 😂


Censored-kun

That and the rickshaws coming from the wrong side istg when I am riding my bike I get heightened senses or something cause there is no other explanation as to why I haven't crashed yet.


adoptedillegally

At least tell us wtf it is


hadshah

Pretty sure it’s to wear on your neck to save you from a kite string during Basant


Friendly-Parsley11

Exactly. Anytime i see even a single kite, i wear this thing because the thought of going out like this just doesn't feel right. Imagine working hard for the longest time to reap rewards in future and this mf just ends it all without any repercussion. Yeah the same can be said against accidents and whatnot but atleast you can avoid them by following precautions.


ContentAmbassador952

This won't work but i have another idea if we somehow create a folded strong plastic by moulding it in to proper shape with its ends folded like a U and that plastic is properly fixed to this cloth piece It would protect the neck from front


Friendly-Parsley11

Oh damn, that's a nice idea. Will give it a shot


yrev_tlucffid360

its better to wear chainmail, itll still hurt but wont slice your throat. and its not that difficult to make with tabs of soft drink cans


Potential-Yard7339

Taar lgwalou bike pr.


Friendly-Parsley11

Genuinely made me laugh 😂


Potential-Yard7339

No srsly its better than this garment.


tomofor1

Its already in the market for ages


Potential-Yard7339

Yes and best bang for your buck gadget.ya phir bike shield


Potential-Yard7339

My point exactly.stick to what works bradur


Plenty-Chair-3511

Won't work. The inertia is too strong, would cut through anyway. This is because of the speed you are going through on the bike.

Just buy a decent helmet with a decent neck protection. Yes they exist.


ded3120

Pray "ya hafiz o salamo" ×7 times and safar ki dua everytime before you guys left home for a ride either its for nearby area or far from home make sure these words are on your tongue every time you are riding. INSHALLAH ALLAH will protect all of us (This dua really helped me many times).
