Wearable airbag for the elderly unveiled

This could come in pretty handy for drivers getting in and out of the truck

Quote:

A JAPANESE company today unveiled a wearable airbag for the elderly that pops out when they fall.

The 1.1kg airbag looks like a traveller's waist pouch but inflates in one-tenth of a second when sensors detect the wearer has taken a tumble.
The Tokyo-based company, Prop, unveiled the ¥<148,000 ($1685) device at a fair of products for the elderly and people with disabilities.
It protects the back of the head and the buttocks with two inflated bags that contain 15 litres of gas each.
