“At 3 am, my 16-year-old daughter was leaving a party when she was confronted by her ex-boyfriend’s girlfriend. It was an organized attack, and together with three others, they ambushed her from behind.
They pulled her back by her hair, causing her head to hit the ground hard. One of them sat on her stomach and beat her until she lost consciousness.
“After about a minute, she regained consciousness and noticed she was surrounded by a group of about 15 people, some of whom were trying to stop the attackers.
“I believe the Invi Bracelet prevented more severe injuries.”
Then she remembered her Invi bracelet. She pointed the bracelet at her attacker’s face, who was about two feet away. Activating it was easy, and within seconds, the situation changed dramatically. Panic ensued.”
“Her attacker backed away and sat on the ground, eyes watering. Clearly shaken, she started to cry.
The rest of the group was overwhelmed by the smell, and the aggressive atmosphere dissipated as people wanted to leave and go home. Several bystanders helped my daughter.She escaped with a concussion and minor injuries. I believe the Invi Bracelet prevented more severe injuries.”

“I left my house at 3.30pm to go to the market. Along the way, I met three men, two wearing military uniforms and carrying weapons. They asked me where I was from and I told them I was coming from the market to buy food. Then they told me that they wanted to eat the food I was holding. I told them that food was not sufficient but if they were really hungry, we could share it. We (me and the three men) continued our way and after a moment we met another soldier who asked these soldiers that I too had to give him cigarettes. I kindly told him that I had no money to buy cigarettes for him.
Then he shouted at me, raising his voice and hit my right hand with a stick. Two of the four men jumped directly on me, brutalized me and took off my clothes. I was almost naked except for the panties that I wore as underwear. The battle began between me and the two soldiers, one holding my two arms. As it was not possible to open the Invi Bracelet with my hands, I used my teeth to open it. It was smelling so terribly that the two men wondered what happened, coughing and closing their nostrils. I seized that occasion to run away in the direction I could find houses. During the escape I crossed a river to go to a friend’s place so that she could give me clothes to wear. After telling her the whole story, she accompanied me to my home.”

“I used my Invi Bracelet to escape from a group fight”
– HANNE O
“At an event, suddely two groups of guys started to fight and I found myself in the middle of it all. I was pushed and even got a blow. There where too many people and I could not escape the situation. Then I thought about my Invi Bracelet. when I released the smell, me and two other boys immediately started vomiting. The stench was incredibly overpowering – but it worked, because the fight stopped immediately. The boys were distracted and overwelmed by the smell. That gave me enough time to safely return to my colleagues, while the security guards were able to get control of the situation.”
