The French company In & Motion, which specializes in wearable airbags, is developing a smart
How it works
From the looks of it, this is an ordinary backpack with a volume of 18 liters, in whichYou can carry a laptop, various gadgets and personal items. But it contains an electronic module with various sensors and control equipment, which analyzes the situation 1000 times per second, predicts and detects falls. If the module detects an accident or a fall of a cyclist, it activates the deployment of the airbag.

In fact, In & Motion is not the firsta company offering a backpack with an airbag. But other models are mainly able to protect only the head and neck, but the Stan airbag reliably “envelops” the entire upper half of the body, providing protection to the head, neck, chest, abdomen and spine. Purpose In & Motion reduces the risk of head injuries by 80% compared to wearing a bicycle helmet as your only protection.

In this case, the airbag inflates lessless than a tenth of a second after the fall was detected. The backpack also connects via a mobile application to a smartphone, due to which the system automatically contacts emergency services in the event of an airbag deployment and, if necessary, directs them to the user’s GPS coordinates.
Stan is currently at the development and testing stage, so there is no information about its release date or cost.
