MacGyver Survivor Challenge - Umbrella

Here are some interesting uses of badass umbrellas...from wikipedia

For protection against attackers
In March 2011 media outlets reveled that French president Nicolas Sarkozy has started using a £10,000 armor-plated umbrella to protect him from attackers. Para Pactum (Latin for “Prepare for peace”) is a Kevlar-coated device made by The Real Cherbourg. It will be carried by a member of Sarkozy’s security team.[28]

As a weapon of attack
In 1978 Bulgarian dissident writer Georgi Markov was killed in London by a dose of ricin injected via a modified umbrella. The KGB is widely believed to have developed a modified umbrella that could deliver a deadly pellet.

Anyone of these would make me happy

Dude.. if this forum was more "real world" active, it would be awesome if people tried things with items like this and you started a series. List an item and then people post pictures of interesting ways to use it.

I think I could make a fishing pole/spear/trap out of an umbrella.. I kinda want to try it.
Also if the arms/wing supports whatever they are called (if there is a name it eludes me) could be used as a grill maybe.
