Polite Umbrella Avoids Collisions In Crowds

It’s no fun being in a crowd when it’s raining. If you use an umbrella, you’ve got to maneuver it around other people and if you brave the rain, you could lose an eye to the careless masses. This gadget, called the Polite Umbrella aims to solve this problem for all concerned by folding in on itself slightly upon a tug of the handle.

The Polite Umbrella was designed by Jooyoun Paek and essentially morphs into a dome-like shape when the corded handle is pulled, occupying less space on the sidewalk. Quite a clever design, but unfortunately a two-handed operation – which is not ideal if you’re lugging things around with you.
