Slap bracelet
A slap bracelet (or snap bracelet) is a bracelet consisting of layered, flexible stainless steel bistable spring bands sealed within a fabric, silicone, or plastic cover. The bracelet can be straightened out, making tension within the springy metal bands. The straightened bracelet is then slapped against the wearer's forearm, causing the bands to spring back into a curve that wraps around the wrist, securing the bracelet to the wearer.
==History==
The slap bracelet was invented by Wisconsin teacher Stuart Anders and sold under the brand name "Slap Wrap".〔(Turning Profits Hand Over Wrist - New York Times )〕 The slap bracelet was a popular fad among children, pre-teens, and teenagers in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and was available in a wide variety of patterns and colors. The bracelet was banned in several schools following reports of injuries stemming from improper use.〔(U.S. Consumer Panel Warns Of Injury by 'Slap' Bracelets - New York Times )〕〔(Principal Puts a Halt To Slap-Bracelet Fad - New York Times )〕 The bracelet was later reintroduced with a plastic spring, but there were still reports of injuries. More recently, slap bracelets have been used as trouser clips, worn on the lower legs of cyclists to prevent trousers from being tangled in the chain. In Scandinavia, reflective bracelets, commonly worn by pedestrians in the dark season, are often made as slap bracelets.
They are also used instead of a baton in long distance relay races, such as the Ragnar Relay Series.
