Motorcycle airbags were developed precisely to limit the damage. Their purpose? To absorb impact and protect the body. But beware: badly designed airbags can sometimes make the situation worse.    <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-trop-gonfle-trop-dangereux\">Too inflated = Too dangerous<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A motorcycle airbag works by inflating very quickly to absorb the impact. Problem: if it inflates <strong>too much<\/strong>, it becomes <strong>too rigid.<\/strong>  Result ? It no longer absorbs the energy of the fall sufficiently, sending some of it back to the pilot&#8217;s body.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-le-risque-de-rebond\">The risk of rebound<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An airbag that is too hard acts like an elastic wall:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>On impact, it slows the motorcyclist down sharply.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then, instead of dissipating the energy, it releases it&#8230; causing a r<strong>ebound<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This rebound can throw the rider back in the opposite direction, adding a <strong>second shock<\/strong> to the body.<br\/>\u27a1\ufe0f Result: the rider is subjected to<strong> twice as much force<\/strong> as a shock without rebound.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-consequences-physiques\">Physical consequences<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Whiplash<\/strong>, cervical or back injuries.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Increased risk of trauma due to double impact.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Less energy dissipation = more internal damage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-la-solution-un-airbag-intelligemment-concu\">The solution: A cleverly designed airbag<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To avoid these undesirable effects, a good airbag must :<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Be <strong>flexible<\/strong> and gradually deflate (like the <strong>ASA Air Shock Absorber system<\/strong>).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoir une <strong>coque externe<\/strong> qui r\u00e9partit l\u2019impact (<strong>technologie RXR Protect<\/strong> avec coques PVC).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Incorporate a <strong>special absorbent foam<\/strong> (such as <strong>R2O<\/strong> foam, which prevents bouncing).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-en-conclusion\">In conclusion<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An airbag must not only protect, it must also <strong>manage impact energy<\/strong>.
