I am no designer myself.... but I think I'd start with designer [fake] safety shoes. Maybe use a simple foil in place of a thick steel... as a replacement for steel-toe shoes. Not that toes aren't important. But compared to brains... maybe less important.
No heck no I'm going to wear it.

Actually my wife wove me a belt out of military grade parachord, unwinds to 90 feet so I could rappel off a building if I was overcome by a fit of action heroics. Pretty cool actually. She also gave me a fake carabiner key ring but I don't carry it.

My earbuds are justified for this purpose.
I sense that you're not following the purpose. That's ok, I'm not out to sell anything or proselytize my point of view.

No it's not, nor even the main point in this case. We have a thread for that, this thread is for something else. I'm not even going to argue or explain it - that's not the topic.
