The "Envelope of Protection" is a term used to generally describe situations and/or
circumstances where the System may provide protection denoted as "inside the Envelope",
and those where it will not, denoted as "outside the Envelope".
The System protects both the rider and the passenger wearing the System in the event of
an accident or other triggering events; however, like any other product, there are limitations
to the protection it can provide.
WARNING!
No product can provide complete protection from injury (or death),
or damage to persons or property in the event of a fall, accident,
collision, impact, loss of control or other event.
The System provides impact protection for those areas where airbag coverage is shown in
Figure 2.
WARNING!
The System provides only limited impact protection against forces in
the areas of airbag coverage as depicted in Figure 2. No guarantee is
given that the System will prevent injuries (including severe or fatal
injuries) inside and/or outside the areas of airbag coverage or the
Envelope of Protection.
WARNING!
The System cannot prevent accidents or injuries to the user.
WARNING!
No protective device, including the System, can provide protection
against all possible sources of injury and therefore cannot provide
complete protection against injuries.
WARNING!
Wearing the System is not a substitute for wearing other protective
motorcycling clothing and gear. To provide full potential protection,
the System must always be worn in conjunction with suitable
motorcycling gear and apparel that covers the rider from head to toe,
including a helmet, protectors, boots, gloves, and other appropriate
protective equipment.
For Tech-Air
5 System the Envelope of Protection includes crashes against obstacles and
®
loss of control crashes (commonly referred as 'low-side' and 'high-side').
IMPORTANT!
If the speed of the vehicle is less than 25km/h (15 mph), the System may
not deploy at the time of the collision/crash, but may deploy if the rider or
passenger suddenly falls from the motorcycle after the impact.
Envelope of Protection for Loss of Control Crashes
A Loss of Control Crash often results in the motorcycle falling over during riding. This
commonly happens when tire grip on the roadway is lost during a turn or heavy braking.
WARNING!
The user does not need to be involved in a crash for the System to
deploy. For example, the System will deploy if the user falls while
wearing the System, such as when dismounting from the motorcycle.
These types of "non-riding" deployments are not failures of the
System.
