WARNING! No protective device, including the Tech-Air™ Street airbag system,
can provide protection against all possible sources of injury and therefore cannot
provide complete protection against injures.
WARNING! Wearing the Tech-Air™ airbag system is not a substitute for wearing
other protective motorcycling clothing and gear. To provide full potential
protection, the Tech-Air™ airbag system must always be worn in conjunction with
suitable motorcycling gear and apparel that covers the rider from head to toe,
including a helmet, protectors, boots, gloves, and other appropriate protective
equipment.
Envelope of Protection
Crashes Where a Vehicle Strikes a Stationary Motorcycle:
•
Valid for both rider and passenger
Crashes Where a Motorcycle Strikes a Vehicle or Obstacle (Figure 11):
•
The above parameters are valid for both the rider and passenger.
IMPORTANT!
If the speed of the vehicle is less than 25km/h, the system may not deploy at
the time of the collision, but may deploy if the rider or passenger suddenly falls from the
motorcycle after the impact.
IMPORTANT!
Figure 11 outlines the envelope where the Tech-Air™ Street airbag system is
expected to inflate before the user’s body contacts an obstacle. At speeds above 25km/h
the system will deploy regardless of the impact angle, but outside the envelope the airbag
may not be fully inflated before there is contact between the obstacle and the user.
