Wearable Cyclist Airbags

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The B’Safe Smart Airbag Vest Provides Optimized Protection When Riding

— January 23, 2019 — Lifestyle
Urban cycling is becoming more popular which is increasing the need for safety equipment as riders begin to spend more time on the road, which is where the B’Safe Smart Airbag Vest aims to come in hand. Developed by Helite, the vest works by being worn by cyclists at all times as they ride and will automatically detect when the rider is involved in a fall or accident. Within just 60ms, the vest will inflate to protect the chest, back and neck prior to impact, which could save the riders life in the event of a serious collision.

The B’Safe Smart Airbag Vest is lightweight and comfortable enough for everyday wear, and could help to absorb up to 90% of the impact when the rider comes into contact with the ground or an obstacle.
