Road vehicle with inflatable gas bags - inflate in collisions or when vehicle runs into rivers, canals, etc.

摘要

The gas bags in the passenger compartment are automatically inflated by compressed air or carbon dioxide when a deceleration detector opens a valve. When inflated, they hold the driver and passengers in their seat. The gas bags can also be used to provide buoyancy to the vehicle if it is driven into or falls into a watercourse. In this case, the valve is operated by water detectors on the vehicle body, and the gas bags are fixed in appropriate positions in or under the vehicle.
