User Guide
• Store your Helite airbag on a hanger in a dry place away from moisture or high
temperatures.
• Do not sew or stick anything onto the Helite airbag (neither the airbag itself nor its
fabric) as it could pierce the airbag and prevent it from working properly.
• Make sure that the lanyard is firmly attached to the saddle and that the saddle
strap is fitted correctly whilst using the airbag system.
• Keep out of reach of children.

General Information

• Each Helite airbag is worn like a normal vest or jacket when horse riding. The rider
attaches the lanyard to the saddle strap. In case of fall, the key-ball separates from
the airbag which triggers the system. The airbag will inflate and protect the rider
in 0.1 sec.
• An airbag cannot guarantee total safety of the rider. The airbag provides additional
protection only when inflated on the body parts it covers.
• The airbag absorbs shocks and stabilizes the body from the head to the tailbone,
thus limiting the risk of hyper-flexion of the spinal column.
• The actual amount of force required to trigger the airbag varies depending on
the size of your airbag (Child S -> 2XL). This mechanical system avoids unexpected
airbag activation. If the rider forgets to detach from his horse, he will feel a strong
pulling tension prior to activation (the airbag may still be triggered).
• The CO2 cartridge is not reusable. A used or damaged cartridge will have to be
recycled or disposed in accordance with your country's legislation.
• The airbag sheaths may get damaged or pierced during a fall if they hit a sharp
object.
• If the horse falls down and the rider stays in the saddle, the airbag system will not
activate.
• This PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) contains no known allergenic subs-
tances. The design will not cause any irritation or discomfort to the wearer.
• No body protection can prevent death, serious injury or personal injury.
