Airbag Vest for Children Released
Airbag vest for children released
According to PEDCO, the KV (Kid Vest) represents a significant advancement in childs safety apparel for dirt bikes.
The Hit-Air motorcycle vest incorporates an airbag system that inflates in one half second when a rider is accidentally ejected from a motorcycle or scooter to protect the neck, torso and hip, PEDCO says in a release. It also uses CE certified armor to protect the shoulders, elbows, and the spine.
A coiled wire is attached to the motorcycle and the jacket. Once the rider and the motorcycle are separated, the coiled wire pulls a key out of a gas release system and inert gas inflates the air bag. The inflated jacket provides the necessary impact protection. After a few seconds the gas is automatically released through the gas release valve.
The vest, which retails for $379.99, is available in small, medium and large sizes for children that weigh between 50 and 80 pounds and are between 3 9 to 4 9 tall.
