Swedish brand Mo'cycle has come up with a new way to protect motorcyclist: jeans that act like a pillow when dropped security. At a critical moment, inflatable pants are filled with carbon dioxide gas and this happens in just a few seconds.





$499 Airbag Jeans come with a replaceable CO

2.

The gas is released from the cartridge at the moment when the person starts to fall.

According to statistics, motorcyclists have the highest level injuries among all road users. Largely due to the fact that the owners of iron horses do not always wear proper protection. Maybe inflatable jeans are what they need?

By the way, another Swedish company, Hövding, has been announced a helmet that looks like a scarf worn around the neck, and in the moment of the accident inflates, clasping and covering the head. Also interesting solution.



The Mo'cycle website explains that the Airbag jeans are visually are no different from what we are used to. They are just as comfortable durable, and their water-repellent, airtight and wear-resistant The fabric feels like regular denim. Airbag up to actuation is completely invisible. However, after triggering, it reveals within a few milliseconds.

In fact, this is a dead man's switch system ("dead man's switch"), which is activated at a critical moment, when a person becomes incapacitated or unable to control situation.





The jeans are connected to the motorcycle with an elastic cable. When the driver flies out of the saddle during an accident, the cable is disconnected, and this releases the spring-loaded piston. Piston pierces CO cartridge 2, releasing the gas and inflating the airbag, which protects the lower body - thighs, buttocks and tailbone. All this occurs instantly, even before the falling person touches the ground.

Some time after activation, the airbag deflates and can be recharged by replacing the cartridge.

The airbag requires a force of approx. 40 kg, so it won't work if the rider doesn't fall off the bike.



In addition to the airbag, Airbag jeans are equipped with pads on the knees, which allows additional protection of the knees cups.

Manufacturers claim to have tested miracle jeans on speed 70 km/h. The result was excellent, and the abrasion of the fabric minimal.

It is planned that the novelty will be launched on February 28 at crowdfunding platform Indiegogo with worldwide delivery in the summer 2023.



Moses came up with the airbag jeans concept. Shahrivar, founder of technology company Airbag Inside Sweden AB, whose trademark is Mo'cycle.

“The only impact protection in conventional motorcycle jeans are knee protection and sometimes hip protection,” he says. - Most injuries in a serious accident are injuries to the lower part body. I have been trying to find a solution to this problem for 17 years now. What a pillow security has done with cars, will soon happen to us, motorcyclists."



Mo'cycle offers not only jeans, but also a vest with the same airbag, which reduces the risk of spinal injuries and stabilizes the driver's helmet.

The cost of the vest is still unknown, but when ordering, buyers will be able to combine it with jeans and get a full outfit, it says website.
