MOTORBIKE SPORT Helite constantly innovates in Airbag jacket for motorcyclists. The two-wheeler
market potential and number of users is very interesting for Helite to succeed
in its mission: protecting as many people as possible from serious injuries. EQUESTRIAN SPORT The most successful product as of today is the Airbag vest for horseback
riders. Indeed horseback riders tend to fall and hurt themselves a few times in
their career, so quickly they understand the need for airbags. Helite launched a
product for horseback riders because the demand was very important and the
development of a reliable and effective product quiet simple. The height and
the speed when a rider falls is moderate enough for the airbag vests to be very
effective and cover the majority of the falls. AIRCRAFT SPORT Gérard Thevenot has worked in the aeronautical field for 35 years. Developing a
product for this application was a personal challenge. Developing a product for
this application was a personal challenge and objective. The accidents are more
scarce than with a motorbike or a horse, but the gravity of the injuries need to
be and can be minimized. Light aircraft pilots now have access to more security!
