3.1 Crashes against Obstacles or Vehicles
The System is expected to inflate and protect the User within 200 milliseconds from the
beginning of the crash, in crashes where a motorcycle strikes an obstacle or a vehicle, within
the arrival speed and impact angle conditions reported in Table 2 and Figure 3 below.

IMPORTANT!
Figure 3 outlines the Envelope of Protection where the System is expected
to inflate and protect within 200 milliseconds from the beginning of the
crash. At speeds above 50km/h (31 mph) or outside the declared angle,
the System is expected to deploy as well, however, outside the Envelope
of Protection the System may not be fully inflated before there is contact
between the obstacle and the User.
IMPORTANT!
The beginning of the crash is defined as the instant of time when the
motorcycle first contacts the opposing vehicle or obstacle in the conditions
described above.
IMPORTANT!
If the relative speed between the motorcycle and the vehicle (or obstacle) is
less than 25km/h (15 mph) during the impact, the System may not deploy at
the time of the collision, but may deploy if the rider suddenly falls from the
motorcycle after the impact.
