Abstract: An impact minimization device for a user includes a processor that transmits a signal in response to an indication of upcoming impact, an inflatable member, and a gas source, flexibly disposed within the inflatable member, which, in response to the signal, inflates the inflatable member. The processor may be disposed within the inflatable member and may be in wireless communication with the gas source. Furthermore, the processor may include at least one sensor and a logic unit. The logic unit may compare sensed data from the sensor with pre-defined data, determine when the sensed data indicates upcoming impact, and activate the gas source thereupon.
