The airbag backpack for cyclists is here
On reaching the defined triggering conditions, for example a fall, the airbag inflates in just 0.2 seconds and unfolds its full protective effect. In doing so, it reduces the force and braking acceleration (HIC - Head Injury Criterion) acting on the cyclist by up to 80%.
The mechanical activation takes place via the explosion of an electric igniter. Once the airbag has been deployed and checked for damage, the system can be used again with a new cartridge.
