The innovative technology of wearable airbags
offers essential protection for motorcyclists throughout the summer
season
PHILADELPHIA, July 10,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- With summer in full swing and as
holiday road travel increases, motorcyclists are hitting the open
road, driving further and longer than before. But with the fun and
freedom of riding, also comes an inherent risk. To help
motorcyclists stay safe this summer – and beyond – Cycle Gear®
and RevZilla®, the nation's leading retailers of motorcycle parts,
apparel and accessories, have created the Airbags Save Campaign to
educate people on wearable airbags, which offer a practical
solution to ensure rider safety while also offering peace of mind
to riders' loved ones.
"Motorcyclists face extensive risks when on the road, and our
priority is providing them with the best possible protection,"
explained Stevan Popovich, President
at Cycle Gear®. "These wearable airbags are a revolutionary
addition to our extensive offering of motorcycle gear and have been
used by professional riders for the last decade. They provide a
reliable and effective solution to reducing injuries, and also
offer incomparable peace of mind to motorcyclists' loved ones."
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA), summer months see a significant increase in road travel,
with millions of Americans hitting the highways for vacations and
holiday celebrations. This uptick in travel also means more
motorcyclists on the road, making safety a top priority. NHTSA
reports there were 83,000 motorcycle riders injured in 2021,
underscoring the need for enhanced safety measures.
In a separate Gitnux report, it was recorded that there were
over 13 million registered motorcycles in the United States. Summer and nicer weather is
causing more people to travel, with August being the most dangerous
month for motorcycle riders (according to the Insurance Institute
for Highway Safety).
Wearable airbag apparel is a game-changer in motorcycle safety.
Leveraging advanced AI technology, airbags deploy in a fraction of
a second upon detecting a crash, providing critical protection for
the vital organs, including the spine, ribcage and even the
neck/collarbone area, reducing up to 93% of impact force and the
risk of injury. These vests are equipped to last 30 hours on full
charge, and even come with Bluetooth and app integration.
Popovich continued, "Summer is a time for adventure and
exploration, but it's also a time to prioritize safety. Wearable
airbags offer motorcyclists an additional layer of protection,
allowing them to enjoy the ride with greater confidence. We
encourage all riders to gear up with the best safety technology
available to fully enjoy this summer's adventures."
