Umbrella built to withstand heavy wind

That’s great… but I was hoping to see it can withstand being flipped in-side-out. But the look of it, probably not…

What I’m waiting for is an umbrella that will cry out to me when I leave it on the train. I’d be willing to shell out more than 7,150 yen for that.

We had a titanium umbrella with special fabric 10 years ago in Belgium, it was only used for scientific experiments though.
With a manmade storm it could easily lift a grown human.
I’d like to see this toy lift someone up from the ground, see if it’s a better product.

Pcurve; about wind getting under it; that just doesn’t happen.

It doesn’t flip inside out because as soon as you tilt it, the longer (back)side of the umbrella catches enough wind to turn it back into upright position.

This combined with the short (front) always turning to face the wind makes it very stable; the wind keeps it upright.

In Scotland, we just made hoods on our jackets to take care of this particular problem.

(seriously, it ticks me off when there’s a little drizzle of rain here in Japan, and immediately everyone breaks out the umbrellas. Is this Oz? Are they witches? Will the finest mist of rain cause them to melt into a puddle of witch goo? I hope so because it’d be hilarious to watch)
