How does the jacket work?
Each IMPACT JACKET comes with a lanyard (already attached to the jacket), two anchoring cables and a CO2 cartridge as part of the complete airbag system. One of the anchoring cables needs to be connected to the frame of the bike and remains there. When you get on the bike very simply connect the lanyard to the anchoring cable and you are ready to ride. When you get off of the bike simply unhook the lanyard from the anchoring cable and walk away. In the event of an accident, when the rider is ejected off of the bike the lanyard will separate from the bike activating the CO2 cartridge to instantly inflate the jacket in approximately a half second. The jacket provides extra protection when ejected from the bike to the most vulnerable parts of the body. The jacket enhances protection to the front chest and side rib areas and the back giving support to the neck and spine areas.
