Usually when people tell you to put a bag over your head, it's an insult. But this bag was made to wear over your head in an emergency situation, and it might save your life if an earthquake hits while you're out shopping.
The Grappa was created with the thought that most people carry reusable bags now when they do their shopping, and if an emergency situation should arise you'll probably have one close at hand.
It has a hard plastic bottom and mesh sides, so your head is protected from falling debris while the side mesh helps filter out particles in the air.
I don't think I'd feel very safe with such a flimsy source of protection on my head, but it's really more of a concept design than the ultimate safety gear, and I can't wait to see what kind of safety functions are built into everyday items in the future.

In the case of an emergency, I think I would prefer this kind of Grappa. In fact, I feel an emergency coming on right about now!

What exactly is that supposed to do? Not much when there's glass and masonry are falling on you.
