Het systeem kan opnieuw worden gebruikt nadat de CO\u2082-inblaaspatron is vervangen.<\/p>\n<p>In tegenstelling tot veel andere veiligheidsinnovaties is de Aerobag al in de handel verkrijgbaar, hoewel de goedkeuring voor professioneel wielrennen nog in behandeling is. Het is niet de eerste fietsairbag, maar het onderscheidt zich door zijn lichte gewicht en onopvallende integratie in fietskleding.<\/p>\n<p>De Belgische ingenieur Bert Celis <span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">begon met de ontwikkeling van de Aerobag, ge\u00efnspireerd door het dodelijke ongeval van wielrenner Bjorg Lambrecht tijdens de Ronde van Polen in augustus 2019.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Het tijdschrift Time heeft de Belgische uitvinding geselecteerd in de categorie Sport &amp; Fitness.

De Aerobag is echter niet het enige beschikbare systeem.<\/p>\n<p>De Franse fabrikant Helite biedt het B\u2019Safe-fietsluchtkussenvest aan (ongeveer \u20ac 690). EVOC heeft een airbag-rugzak voor forenzen ontwikkeld. En wat nog belangrijker is: Van Rysel van Decathlon en In&amp;motion hebben een concurrerende race-airbag ontwikkeld, die volgens hen binnen 60 milliseconden wordt geactiveerd, tegenover de 100 ms van Aerobag.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>American Time Magazine has included the bicycle airbag from Turnhout-based company Aerobag on its list of the best inventions of 2026.\u00a0The system protects cyclists in a fall by inflating an airbag around the neck and upper body in just 100 milliseconds.
