Development of airbag suit system for motorcyclist

Airbag suit is proven to prevent motorcyclists from having serious injuries especially spine, neck, ribs and collar-bone fractures. A common way to inflate the airbag is by attaching one part that called pin to the valve that controlling the airflow from canister to the airbag. An airbag inside infl...
