HIP’GUARD
The airbag belt that
protects your hips
Hip’Guard protects the hips
of SENIORS in the event of a fall.
Fall detection to prevent fractures
When a lateral fall is detected, an airbag integrated in the belt inflates
automatically at the hips.
Hip’Guard thus ensures an optimal protection during ground impact and reduces potential fractures of the femoral neck.
How it works
Optimal hip protection in 4 steps
MOTION ANALYSIS
The electronic system and its sensors follow and analyse the person’s
motion in real time.
FALL DETECTION
The system detects that the person is falling in 0.2 sec.
AIRBAG INFLATION
The airbag inflates around the hip on the side of the fall in 0.08 sec.
