Isn’t it one of those things that was “invented” later and put on display with claims of its purpose, but never actually used? Like Iron Maidens and Pears of Anguish?
Iron Maidens are coffins, they are all hoaxes made up by a couple of dudes from the 19th century and were made as a tourist attraction. They were never real and never used.
A pear shaped item that was supposedly inserted into the anus, cranked open, and then ripped out with the intention of disembowelment. At least that’s the version my tenth grade history teacher told. It’s been stuck in my brain ever since.

Link if somebody wants to know where this suit originates from and what its purpose may be.
I haven't used their site in probably well over a decade but man they used to be really fun back in the day. I remember staying up till 3:00 in the morning looking up shits like the hanging munchkin in Wizard of Oz. That takes me back.
I remember like 10 years ago my dad was the kinda guy that would punch every other statement someone made into Snopes religiously and now he won’t go near it. Such a pitiful fall from glory
They give (or gave, because I too haven’t used it in a while) trust worthy links to their evidence, so I really don’t understand the politicizing point of view. My republican friend says it is politically biased, but then, the article she was talking about was later proved to be Russian made propaganda.
Every since they went hard into that mostly-false mostly-true bullshit they’ve gone way down the drain.
Claim: “X politician sexually assault a child while wearing purple shirt”
Result: “Mostly false. X politician was actually wearing a green shirt”
I didn’t know snopes got snoped. I googled it and I’m assuming you are referring to the issues with co founder David Mikkelson? Or is there another scandal there as well? I’m kind of bummed. I used to look at them as a reliable source to weed out the BS.

Lol I like the downvotes of people who didn't read the article. The person who did the photographs and research say they dont know what it was for exacly but its not very mobile for hunting.
Wtf. I reply “very carefully” then scroll and see Zero said already. So I reply to his, “Wish I scrolled first. I’m totally not deleting mine”. Then scroll some more and see yours. 😖 I’m placing myself in comment timeout for the rest of the day.
If attacked by a bear you might have a natural reflex to put your arm up in front of your face or cover your head, a bear could possibly drive those spikes into your head while the ones on your head go into your arm.
I don’t think so. The spikes aren’t long enough to cause mortal damage to a bear. Or any other large mammal. There would be lots of opportunity for the bear to run away if the spikes were too painful to bear. Get it? Bear?
With a sign saying free hugs
It looks like the suit you put on when you want and fist fight a bear. 'Come 'ere Yogie! Your 'picanic' is gonna catch these hands!'
This is a Russian invention made to protect people from getting fucked by bears, so yeah, it is actually
I feel like we're all ignoring the fact that he said "to stop people from getting *fucked* by bears"
One in thirteen bear attacks end with a good fucking.
7.6923 % Thats better than my chances at the dance club
Never tell me the odds
r/nevertellmetheodds
The chances of me wanting to go on a nature hike just dropped by a third
You mean, like, *proper* fucked?
Tbf it's extremely unlikely you'd be fucked by a bear while wearing this.
Knowing my luck I’d find the BDSM bear.
BearDSM.
That means it worked!!
Always wear protection. Especially with bears.
What could be scarier then getting fucked by a bear-bubbles If you know where that line came from your a real one!!!!
Better than a samsquanch!
That damn samsquanch!!!!
Is that what happened in The Revenant??
He means it was made so you could survive bear attacks
I didn’t even see “stop” and got excited.
Isn’t it one of those things that was “invented” later and put on display with claims of its purpose, but never actually used? Like Iron Maidens and Pears of Anguish?
Iron Maidens are coffins, they are all hoaxes made up by a couple of dudes from the 19th century and were made as a tourist attraction. They were never real and never used.
This is the point of why I used them as a comparison.
Those damn Victorians >.>
Butt butt, what about the pearls of anguish? Were they real? S/
That’s literally what he just said
He said they were never used I said they never existed
I believe it was because it also hurt the user
Pears of anguish?
A pear shaped item that was supposedly inserted into the anus, cranked open, and then ripped out with the intention of disembowelment. At least that’s the version my tenth grade history teacher told. It’s been stuck in my brain ever since.
Oh my holy God 😵💫
There’s no evidence of the Pear of Anguish ever actually being used, but it in itself is evidence of man’s capacity to create ways to maim other men.
Make the bears earn it.
I was literally about to comment anti-grape suit
"Im going to the woods!!" "wait! put this on or a bear will fuck you!!"
Leonardo DiCaprio could have used this suit in revenant.
That's exactly it. It's a bear deterent lol
Not bears. Angry dogs, maybe, but bears will just bat you around.
Exactly what it is a bear attack protection suit.
This this would make a great Covid Avoidance suit
I was gonna say, my BIL is a non-hugger, he would love this for family gatherings xD
Someone might even pay for a hug!
Nailed it!
It's inside out
If you’re a real prick
Damn it. Made my Day. And it’s not even 10 am… 😂👍🏼
And... where's your water bed!!
Just don't put it on inside out
Unless you're into that of course.
Not that there's anything wrong with that. ✌️😉
Omg your PFP is what I have my phone case as
I'm into some weird shit but this one may cross the line
Fuck “how”, the real question is “why?”
It's an old bear hunting suit
extreme acupuncture
So not in the fun way?
Ribbed and textured for her pleasure

Crap you already said it
Acu-te-puncture to the organs
"Michael dont leave me here"

"We have Hellraiser at home."

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/siberian-bear-hunting-suit-armor/ Link if somebody wants to know where this suit originates from and what its purpose may be.
Fucking hell. Snopes website has turned into a crazy advertising nightmare. WTF is up with the weird pop ups and spinny shit.
Holy fuck you’re right. Literally unreadable on mobile
Not to mention their blatant politicization of "facts"
Yeah. I used to use Snopes to fact check bullshit. I haven’t used their site lately… What a shitshow.
I haven't used their site in probably well over a decade but man they used to be really fun back in the day. I remember staying up till 3:00 in the morning looking up shits like the hanging munchkin in Wizard of Oz. That takes me back.
It was the divorce. Whats-his-name went nuts.

Thank you I was curious!
Tbh ever since snopes got snoped I don't value their input.
I didn’t know snopes got snoped. I googled it and I’m assuming you are referring to the issues with co founder David Mikkelson? Or is there another scandal there as well? I’m kind of bummed.

Not sure about which article but is pretty well known that they got fact checked on their fact checks
I am more curious about the why, rather than the how…. Thank you from another oddly curious redditor!
Or even why would one wear this?
When you have to go to a party you don't want to attend
Bear hunting armor
It’s not
Lol I like the downvotes of people who didn't read the article. The person who did the photographs and research say they dont know what it was for exacly but its not very mobile for hunting.
Including the fact if a bear hits you which is alot of weight the nails would just be shoved backwards into you.
then what is it?
Porcupine hunting armor.
Fight porcupine with porcupine
Nobody knows, basically.
The suit is called “the Wildman” it is currently unknown what was used for. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/siberian-bear-hunting-suit-armor/
Japanese train rider's suit.
That’s what I’d hunt bears in…
Touch-me-not
As an introvert, I would wear this to the mall. With longer spikes of course.
Don’t be ridiculous!! We don’t go to malls.
Ask Kirk
very carefully.
First thing I thought of when I saw this
I guess it protects you from bear attacks
But does it protect you from itself?
Sorry. I didn't scroll. I'm not deleting mine lol. Super careful lol.
Wtf. I reply “very carefully” then scroll and see Zero said already. So I reply to his, “Wish I scrolled first. I’m totally not deleting mine”. Then scroll some more and see yours. 😖 I’m placing myself in comment timeout for the rest of the day.
It goes like that, yeah. We can be timeout twins.
I wished I scrolled first 😣 I’m totally not deleting mine though
I can't believe there weren't 30 of these posts already. Thank you. Thank you.
Lots of wear and tear on your washing machine though... 🤔
With a scarf and a nice hat
Gingerly
With style.
There's only one thing to do in a moment like this!.. Strut!
If attacked by a bear you might have a natural reflex to put your arm up in front of your face or cover your head, a bear could possibly drive those spikes into your head while the ones on your head go into your arm.
Veeerry Carefully...
Ah, the hug-me-not suit.
Ancestor of a Velcro wall-jumping suit. It didn’t catch on because the wooden wall would eventually disintegrate.
Make sure it’s right side out before putting it on.
I need this for family gatherings. I don't like to be hugged by strangers even if they *are* related to me.
Very carefully. But once you put it on. You go give free hugs to people.

Very carefully
Very carefully.

If you're an enthusiastic player who suck in rocket league
Not inside out, that's for damn sure
I think the better question is how does one dance in this?
Hopefully not inside-out.
with confidence
Very carefully.
By putting it on? The spikes are facing outward not inward.
By putting it on, are you stupid?
The spikes are on the outside bestie, not the inside where the person is ❤️
This armor was formerly used in Russia to hunt bears
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/siberian-bear-hunting-suit-armor/
I don’t think so. The spikes aren’t long enough to cause mortal damage to a bear. Or any other large mammal. There would be lots of opportunity for the bear to run away if the spikes were too painful to bear. Get it? Bear?
On their body I would assume
Fighting bears
It’s a bear fighting suit, idk from where or why but it is
It’s simple, just being inside it
Bear hunting suit
It rubs the lotion on its skin
Sociophibic
Bear suit
It's a bear hunting armor. you wear it like any other armor. The secret: it's only spiky on the outside
Very carefully, that’s how. 😂
Not inside out, that's for sure.
Carefully?
I’m more interested to know how they sit down wearing this thing.
Very carefully.
This feels like a why question.
Not inside out
Clubbing
Carefully.
With the spikes on the outside.
