Airbag suit will save your life in bike accidents, know how it works

New Delhi : Every day thousands of lives are lost in road accidents in India. Rules have also been made to stop or reduce them. Strictness is also maintained. For this, many types of safety features are also provided in vehicles. Airbags are one of these safety features. You get the feature of airbags in almost all the cars available in the Indian market. It has also been made mandatory for cars. But now airbags have also come for the safety of bikers.
Two wheelers account for more than 40 percent of road accidents in India. Despite this, bikes do not have many safety features. Airbags have started coming in some expensive bikes but they are beyond the reach of the common man. But now a solution to this has also come in the market. Yes, some companies have started making airbag suits for bikers.
Why was there a need for an airbag suit
It is worth mentioning that airbag safety is available from both sides in a car. In this, the chances of an accident are from the front or side only. But if we talk about a bike, the direction and condition of the accident is not fixed. A collision can occur from anywhere, front or back, right or left. In such a situation, it is more important to have additional safety features in a bike. This is the reason why technology like airbag suit has been developed.
This is how the airbag suit works
Keeping in mind the safety of bikers, such suits have been made which have airbags in their jackets and pants. This suit has a belt attached to it which stays connected to the bike. During an accident, as soon as the bike rider starts falling down, this belt gets pulled and the airbags open. Due to which the bike rider does not get hurt even after falling.
Economical and more safety
Although bikes with inbuilt airbag feature are also available in the market. But the bikes which have airbags cost lakhs. In such a situation, airbag suit proves to be an excellent option. On one hand, it is economical and on the other hand, it also provides additional safety. It gives you support from all sides.
