If you are unseated or thrown from a horse the airbag system is designed to be effective in 0.1 seconds
The Lanyard of the jacket connects with the nylon stirrup straps at the front of the saddle.
After the rider has mounted the saddle, he or she clips the 2 ends together.
The Lanyard enables full movement in all directions for the rider. The airbag will only be activated if the rider is separated from the horse. The airbag jacket will then inflate within 0.1 seconds, protecting the all important areas of the body, the collar of the neck, ribs and coccyx.
The new system means that your jacket will be fully inflated after activation in 0.1 of a second, so should inflation begin from as little as 25cm from the ground your Point Two Air Jacket will be inflated before you impact the ground.
The jacket is completely reusable by replacing the CO2 gas cartridge. The highly resistant polyester fabric Jacket or Gilet can be brushed or sponged down to
remove stains.

.. when used with a BETA level 3 body protector, improves protection to the spine by up to 69%.
.. provides approximately 45% more protection for the lower spine than a BETA level 3 body protector alone.
.. with or without BETA level 3 body protector reduced the risk of rib fractures and underlying organ damage, by as much as 20%.
