Point Two Air jackets
combine the latest airbag technology within
a stylish and comfortable jacket. Why
compromise safety when riding? This air
jacket will reduce the risk of serious
injury, give peace of mind, and ensure
the rider feels as confident as possible
at all times.
The Point Two air jackets
are the only fully CE certified air jackets
available and are also the fastest air
bag jacket in the world. The jacket reaches
full inflation in 0.1 seconds offering
fantastic protection to the collar of
the neck, spine, coccyx and rib cage.
As well as the obvious protection from
shock absorption, the jacket distributes
pressure and above all, effectively supports
the spinal column so that the neck and
trunk have limited movement. For your
protection, a simple “click”
is all it takes to connect you to the
saddle. If you are unseated or thrown
from a horse the airbag system is designed
to be effective in 0.1 seconds
The Lanyard of the jacket connects with
the nylon stirrup straps at the front
of the saddle. After the rider has mounted
the saddle, he or she clips the 2 ends
together. The Lanyard enables full movement
in all directions for the rider. The airbag
will only be activated if the rider is
separated from the horse. The airbag jacket
will then inflate within 0.1 seconds,
protecting the all important areas of
the body, the collar of the neck, ribs
and coccyx.
The new system means that your jacket
will be fully inflated after activation
in 0.1 of a second, so should inflation
begin from as little as 25cm from the
ground your Point Two Air Jacket will
be inflated before you impact the ground.
The jacket is completely reusable by replacing
the CO2 gas cartridge. The highly resistant
polyester fabric Jacket or Gilet can be
brushed or sponged down to remove stains.
The most commonly injured group are young,
leisure riding female amateur riders with
a vast majority (approx 70% of accidents)
occuring out hacking and schooling, not
in the competition ring.
A Cambridge University study of 1000
riding accident hospital admissions has
shown: One injury for 100 hours leisure
riding.
54% injured patients have chest trauma.
Rib fractures are common and painful
with a quarter of cases having an associated
underlying injury.
Abdominal trauma occurs in approx 22%
seriously injured patients.
The liver, spleen and kidneys are the
most commonly injured abdominal organs
80-90% of spinal fractures are to the
lumbar and thoracic spine, not the neck.
