"VAN RYSEL's Project AIRBAG integrates an airbag into the skinsuit, providing essential protection for cyclists without the bulk of traditional gear. The airbag deploys in 60 milliseconds upon crash detection, ensuring rapid response to accidents."
"The impact-detection algorithms used in the AIRBAG are trained on over 450 million kilometers of data, allowing for precise analysis of rider dynamics and distinguishing between normal racing and crash scenarios."
"Protection is focused on three key areas: the thorax and rib cage, the cervical area to prevent hyperextension, and the spinal line, ensuring comprehensive safety for the rider."
"In addition to the airbag, the skinsuit is made with abrasion-resistant materials in high-impact zones, significantly reducing the risk of road rash during accidents."
VAN RYSEL is innovating with Project AIRBAG, creating a skinsuit that functions as an airbag for cyclists. This design addresses the need for safety in competitive cycling, where traditional protective gear may be too bulky. The skinsuit features impact-detection algorithms that analyze rider dynamics and deploy the airbag within 60 milliseconds upon crash detection. It offers protection for the thorax, cervical area, and spine, while also incorporating abrasion-resistant materials to minimize road rash risk. The product is expected to be available in the next two years.
