# Inflatable Safety Attire The Omni-Guard Airbag Suit Acts as Padding to Protect Fallen Workers By Amelia Roblin | Published 2012-08-01 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omni-guard-airbag-suit References: [tuvie](http://www.tuvie.com/omni-guard-airbag-suit-a-protection-suit-for-high-altitude-workers/) When the adequacy of [scaffolding safety precautions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/positioning-wearables) falls short, concepts like the Omni-Guard Airbag Suit show great potential for lowering the risk of injury, should laborers have accidents on construction sites. Should the worst case scenario transpire, this [inflatable parachute-like outfit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-airbag-platform) provides ample cushioning to the victim's body so that any wounds inflicted on impact would be comparatively minor. Seah Tat Leong collaborated with a group of five others to conceive this billowing bolstered garment. It can be [worn comfortably over the worker's jumpsuit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wearable-robot1) and it would supposedly not interfere with his range of motion to accomplish his tasks. But the moment that the Omni-Guard Airbag Suit detects rapid acceleration, the device initiates inflation to surround the head, the neck, the pelvis and the torso for a relatively padded landing after a terrible tumble. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Inventions](https://www.trendhunter.com/inventions) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Inflatable Safety Gear:** Opportunities to innovate inflatable safety gear technology for workers in high-risk fields. - **Smart Safety Devices:** Development of smart safety devices that can detect and react to potential hazards for industrial workers. - **Wearable Protection Equipment:** Advancements in wearable protection equipment that is comfortable, unobtrusive and can reduce the severity of injuries in case of accidents. ### Where This Applies - **Construction:** Construction companies can invest in inflatable safety gear technology to minimize worker injury and increase safety measures. - **Manufacturing:** Manufacturing companies can develop smart safety devices that can detect and mitigate potential hazardous situations for their workers. - **Oil and Gas:** Oil and gas companies can utilize wearable protection equipment to augment the safety of their field workers and prevent injuries. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Airbag-Deploying Travel Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stan-airbag.md) - [Airbag-Integrated Bicycle Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airbag-bicycle-helmet.md) - [Wearable WFH Cushion Jumpsuits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wearable-workforce.md) - [Airbag Cyclist Safety Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aerobag-system.md) - [Protective Airbag Jeans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mocycle.md) - [Self-Inflating Bicycle Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bumpair-20.md) - [Featherlight Inflatable Bike Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inflabi-bike-helmet.md) - [Worker Injury-Preventing Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/preventure.md) - [Lifesaving Swimming Vests](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swimming-vest.md)
