Cars come with the risk of collisions and that’s why certain safety precautions are taken: the driver and passenger is supposed to be wearing seat belt while driving and then there’s the airbag that will, in case of a collision, inflate and help in protecting the victims from getting any serious damage. Senior citizens require protection as well because old age takes away a lot from a person. In fact, for old persons, a simple fall could result in injuries that could drastically change their lives. This led ActiveProtective, a company based in Pennsylvania, to come up with a wearable airbag that inflates when a person falls and protects the hip bones from taking any major damage.
首席技术官罗爱游戏ayx体育伯特·巴克曼（Robert Buckman）博士在担任创伤外科医生时提出了这个想法，并注意到由于摔倒而导致臀部骨折的老人人数。这样的患者通常从未从伤害中完全康复。
小工具必须像皮带一样佩戴，并且可以在衣服下面或在衣服下面佩戴 - 无论使用户舒适。并入其中的3D运动传感器能够确定非典型运动表示跌落。检测到，皮带使用冷气充气机将安全气囊膨胀在平板形上，从而从臀部的侧面延伸。据该公司称，该小工具能够将影响力减少90％。
截至目前，该设备正在通过操作经验进行测试。这家位于马里兰州的业务也归巴克曼（Buckman）拥有，并以建造与创伤有关的战斗伤亡和急诊手术的人类尸体模拟器而闻名。90岁女性的复制品正在用于测试。
该公司已经说，到目前为止的结果似乎很有希望，计划于今年进行，然后在2016年底进行商业化。
