What is a Helite airbag system?

Helite airbag systems use a rapid inflation mechanism (CO₂ cartridge or e‑cartridge) triggered via a tether or sensor. In the event of a fall, the airbag inflates (typically in 60–100 ms) and stabilises the torso, spine, hips and vital organs.

Which parts of the body are protected?

When properly deployed, Helite airbags are designed to protect the spine, thorax, kidneys, hips, tailbone, and internal organs. They also help reduce hyper‑extension of the trunk and provide stabilisation for the head and neck region.

How fast does the airbag inflate?

Depending on the model, inflation time is typically between 60 and 100 milliseconds.

Is Helite an approved safety system?

Yes. Helite airbags are CE‑certified and tested as personal protective equipment (PPE) by independent certification bodies.
