Disposal – Unfired Airbag Vest
WARNING! An undeployed airbag Vest still contains live pyrotechnic charges
and thus must NOT be disposed of in household waste or incinerated.
Undeployed airbag Vests must be returned to an Alpinestars dealer for subsequent return to
Alpinestars who will handle the disposal. This service is free of charge.

16. Actions in the Event of an Accident
Accident WITHOUT Deployment
In the case of minor accidents which fall inside the non activation conditions in section 3, it is
likely that the airbag will not activate. Nonetheless, a thorough inspection of the Tech-Air™ Race
airbag system (i.e.: Alpinestars’ Compatible Suit/Jacket and the airbag vest) must be made as per
the post crash check outlined in Section 15.
Tip: If the outer Alpinestars’ Compatible Suit/Jacket has sustained considerable
damage, but the airbag Vest is completely undamaged, then it may be more
economical and faster to purchase a replacement outer Alpinestars’ Compatible
Suit/Jacket instead of arranging for repair.
Accident WITHOUT Deployment, BUT Where The User Believes The System
Should Have Deployed.
IMPORTANT!
In these circumstances the system must be turned off IMMEDIATELY after the
accident because the electronic unit only holds 2 minutes of data. After that, the crash data will
be overwritten and the possibility to analyze the data will be lost.
The airbag Vest should be returned to an Alpinestars Tech-Air™ dealer along with a detailed
account of the event (including photos, if possible). Alpinestars will then analyze the information
and respond.
Accident WITH Deployment.
Where the airbag has deployed a recharge service is available from Tech-Air™ dealers to have the
airbag and inflators replaced. During this service, a full inspection will be made of the airbag Vest
and of its electronic equipment.
The outer Alpinestars’ Compatible Suit/Jacket should also be inspected. For an extra fee, the user
may have the Alpinestars’ Compatible Suit/Jacket inspected for damage and repaired while the
airbag vest is being recharged.
Accident or Other Situation WITH Deployment, BUT Where The User Believes The
System Should Not Have.
The airbag Vest should be returned to an Alpinestars Tech-Air™ dealer along with a detailed
account of the event (including photos, if possible). Alpinestars will then analyze this the
information and respond.
