Airbag system for motor cycle, comprises detection element that enables trigger mechanism to detect impact of front wheel mudguard with obstruction and trigger filling of airbag

摘要

The system has an airbag and a trigger mechanism that fills the airbag with gas on detecting an event that can be interpreted as an impact of the vehicle with an obstruction. The vehicle has a mudguard (4) extending down approximately to the center of the front wheel (2) with a detection element (6) that enables the trigger mechanism to detect the impact of the mudguard with an obstruction and trigger filling of the airbag.
