How I fought off two attackers with my Strike Force X1000 Bat Flashlight

It helped me temporarily blind the attackers!

“Temporarily blinding someone was never something I thought I would have to do.

But, there I was walking home alone at night after a long day when a group of sketchy individuals approached me. They were getting closer and closer until one of them pulled out a knife. My heart raced as adrenaline surged through my veins.

Luckily I was carrying a baseball bat with a flashlight that my friend had given me for protection. Without hesitation, I swung the bat toward the attacker to show I was serious and then aimed the light into his eyes.

The flashlight attached to the end of it illuminated their face, temporarily blinding them long enough for me to escape. I didn't want to hurt anyone, but at that moment, it was either fight or flight. It's scary how quickly things can escalate and turn dangerous on an empty street at night.

After this experience, I made sure to always carry a bat in my bag whenever possible - you just never know what kind of situation you might find yourself in.”
