AmSafe Airbag Offers Elitist Safety For Business Class Passengers

by iona

Nothing like a bit of elitism, is there? B/E Aerospace, the world’s leading manufacturer of interior cabin products for commercial and business jets, has announced its plans to offer AmSafe Seatbelt Airbag for business passengers. Can’t afford expensive class? Then you may be in trouble. Tests showed that the airbag will minimize passenger injury in a survivable accident. A spokesperson for AmSafe patted themselves on the back with the fact that the AmSafe Seatbelt Airbag will allow business jet passengers on nearly 50,000 seats on global commercial and general aircraft an additional level of protection.

The AmSafe Seatbelt Airbag is a self-contained restraint system that will protect occupants from serious head injury and improve their ability to exit the aircraft in the event of an accident. The airbag inflates safely upwards and away from the passenger, in under 90 milliseconds.
