People’s airbag ‘prevents injury’
“The device is strapped around the body and inflates in 0.1 seconds if it detects it is accelerating towards the ground, the manufacturers say. The Tokyo-based company, Prop, says the product is designed to cushion a fall using two separate pockets of air. One pocket will be behind the head and the other around the hips. It does not protect those who fall forward.”
