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. Complementary PPE garments could be: jackets or trousers (in
accordance with EN 17092 parts 2, 3, 4 and 5), other impact protectors,
boots (in accordance with EN 13634) and gloves (in accordance with EN
13594) and visibility clothing (in accordance with EN 1150) or high visibility
accessories (in accordance with EN 13356).
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!
There are some limitations on the deployment of Tech-Air® 5 System
even inside the Envelope of Protection (like a high impact angle on a crash
against an obstacle, or low impact forces). In general, the System is not
expected to deploy if the impact energy is too low.
