Zusammenfassung: | An airbag system (1) for a powered saddle-ride type vehicle (100) is provided. The system comprises a housing (2); an airbag (6) arranged in said housing (2); and an inflator (7). The housing (2) is elongated and is configured to face the driver, and the housing (2) is configured to be fixedly mounted to a leg shield (102) next to the steering column (101) of the vehicle (100) in an area between handlebars (104) of the vehicle and a foot support (105) of the vehicle. The elongated housing (2) is configured to be mounted in a substantially horizontal direction, transverse to a longitudinally extending centreline (CL) of the vehicle (100). The inflator (7) is configured to allow the airbag (6), in the event of an activation signal, to inflate and deploy symmetrically on opposite sides of the longitudinally extending centreline (CL) of the vehicle (100) to thereby fill an available space between the vehicle and the driver's pelvis, abdomen, thorax and head area. Further, a powered saddle-ride type vehicle is provided. |
