This Airbag Belt Protects The Elderly When They Fall

Meet the air bag that helps reduce the impact made to the hip bone when you fall.

Seem air bags are not ment for cars only.

We all know air bags help against serious injuries during accident, that why all vehicle/cars are equipped with them.

But however similar injuries can be sustained when a senior or an elderly person falls, this is what a Pennsylvania based company had in mind before the ActiveProtective airbags were made.

How Does The ActiveProtective Works?

• Its quite simple the airbag is worn like a belt, when its onboard 3D motion sensors dectects atypical motion similar to that of falling, it uses a cold gas inflactor to deploy a slab-like air bag that runs down the side of the hip when the wear hits the ground, reducing impact up to 90 percent.
