SHOCK AND ACCIDENT DETECTION
The electronic system detects different accident situations:
• During the ride (faster than 11km/h)
- Bicycles that hit or are being hit by a significant obstacle (vehicle, wall, pole,
etc.) from the front, side or rear.
- Loss of control of the bike (without shock on the bike): slipping on the side
or falling off the bike.
• Bicycle at a standstill
- Impact on the bicycle and the cyclist is ejected from the bike.
!
In some accidents, if the movements are too slow, or the amplitude is
too weak, it is possible that the detection does not work on time or not
at all.
Accident detection can be affected by:
- absence of GPS signal (tunnel, underground parking, ...)
- low speed (except in case of a shock on the bike)
THE AIRBAG PROTECTION
The vest was designed to ensure an optimal protection for 3 vital areas of the body:
the thorax, the neck and the back.
The airbags are made and tested in Helite's workshop in Dijon. They are made of
strong nylon fabric which is highly resistant and very effective to absorb shocks.
After each inflation, the airbag automatically deflates slowly and can be used again
