It is surprising that motorbikes of road traffic polices is not equipped with air bags as standards. While police forces across the UK have been testing airbag systems over the recent months, Gloucestershire Police was the first force in the country to equip their motorcycles with BKS air suits. They were the first traffic officers to equip their force. The safety of a biker is as compulsory as any driver in a car. In fact, police officers on bikes are on higher risks of accidents and encountering accidents. The air bag technology has made life easier by decreasing the ratio of injuries that occur in an accident. Gloucester Police equipped their bikes with Alpinestars Tech- Air vest system inside their made to measure kangaroo leather BKS suits. BKS won the title of Professional Protective Equipment and was the first one to supply, standard leather suits for motorbike officers in the year 1990. This initiative of air bags was to keep the progression of this force safe and sound while performing their tasks.
This innovation offers leather one and two-piece suits and jackets with worlds most advanced internal air bag from Alpine Stars (in photo). The Tech-Air race framework is totally independent, which means there are no bicycle to-rider setups required. This guarantees the ultimate comfort in accommodation, opportunity and adaptability. At the point when completely blown, the framework's airbag offers basic insurance to the back, kidneys, chest and shoulders. In addition, with a straightforward overhaul, the flexible firmware enables the Race System to be changed to the Street mode setting for non-race use in street and rough terrain circumstances. The designs of the suit must fit and you should also remove the vest, while wearing it with a traditional back protector or else you have to wear the Tech Air unit during the service periods. Additional training is also provided for all the servicing activities down the line. This innovation is now adapted by serious race, sports and touring riders along with the UK police and emergency services. It has a variety of accessories including the back and limb protection, base layers, and gloves. Technical linings and leather care, along with a full leather suit repair and other services of alternation also exists.
Air bags have now become a standard kit on race tracks around the world. The mandatory adaptation is already placed in the MotoGP and World Superbike. A study suggests that as more series take on the technology, its costs will decrease and a couple of more companies will start to produce it. For instance, there are 12 leather manufactures in the MotoGP alone but it has three airbag systems. The others license the Alpinestars system. The innovation of Air Bags has acted as a stress relief factor for the ones who make their living or have passions in the field of motor bikes. It takes the safety of every individual to the next level.
