of view, there are restrictions. For the latest recommendations, please consult the
documentation available on helite.com in the FAQ section. We recommend that you
include the user's manual and the IATA document on the transport of dangerous
goods in airplane with the airbag vest. We advise you to ask the airline for prior
written approval. Helite cannot be held responsible if the airline or airport security

subject to their approval.
6. REUSING THE AIRBAG SYSTEM AFTER INFLATION
After an inflation, please check the condition of the airbag vest (airbag visible,
important tear, abrasion,... ). The airbag vest will gradually deflate by itself in a few
minutes. Damage to the airbag vest can be detected by a very rapid deflation (less
than 5 seconds). If you have any problems or doubts about the condition of the
airbag vest, contact your dealer or Helite customer service at sav@helite.com.

You must carefully follow the order of the steps below.
• The airbag vest must be reconditioned in a clean environment (away from dust,
not on the floor, etc).
