Abstract: An airbag system and related method of inflating an airbag is disclosed. The airbag system has an airbag cushion having an interior cavity. At least one pyrotechnic gas generating compound is positioned within the interior cavity of the airbag cushion. At least one ignition source is in communication with the at least one pyrotechnic gas generating compound. A control unit is in communication with the at least one ignition source, wherein activation of the at least one ignition source by the control unit causes the at least one pyrotechnic gas generating compound to inflate the airbag cushion.

Abstract: A crash protection system includes a base connectable to a support on an open vehicle or an animal. The base includes a front airbag module arranged proximate a front end of the base and a rear airbag module arranged proximate a rear end of the base. The front airbag module has a front airbag, and the rear airbag module has a rear airbag. The system further includes a belt system having a first belt connectable around a waist of a rider and at least one strap connecting the first belt to the base. A control system includes sensors that are monitored to determine whether a crash situation is present and the control system actuates the front airbag module and the rear airbag module and releases the base from the support when the crash situation is present.
