Millions of people get injured or die in vehicle accidents worldwide. In the current protection system, the seat belt is primary, while the airbag is secondary system.
- Primarily designed to prevent collision injuries
- Other types of injuries (up to 5x) are accepted as unavoidable
- Ineffective at high speeds and extreme G-forces
- Ineffective against risk enhancing factors
- Technology has reached its limit in its 50 years of existence
A New Technology
Vehicle Occupant Protection System (VOPS) is a complete rethinking/ re-engineering of passenger protection during an accident.
- Designed with the goal of “zero injuries, zero deaths”
- Complete rethinking of occupant protection in vehicles
- Not an ‘improvement’ of existing airbag system
- Innovative method of cushioning a vehicle passenger
- Prevents all types of injuries
- Cannot cause harm (which happens with seat belts and airbags)
- No comparative technology known
- Everyone is still trying to improve or add more airbags
