3.4 High-Side Falls
A high-side fall is a type of motorcycle crash characterized by sudden and violent rotation
of the bike around its longitudinal axis. This generally happens when the rear wheel loses
traction, skids, and then suddenly regains traction, causing the rider to be thrown opposite
and head-first from the side of the motorcycle or over the handlebars. In these conditions,
the System is expected to inflate and protect within 400 milliseconds from the moment in
which the loss of control of the bike is irreversible.
WARNING! Due to shocks, movement and/or other input detected and/or
received by the System while in use, although unlikely, the System
may deploy even though there is no dangerous situation or crash
event. Please be advised that the following actions, not limited to
but including for example a pat on the back, a tight hug, abrupt
movements, not switching off the System before dismounting the
motorcycle, leaving the System on the bike where it can slide off and
falls to the ground, are all actions that may trigger the deployment
of the System.
3.5 Envelope of Protection: STREET MODE
The Street Mode is mandatory when the User is riding on a public street road.
The System function for Street Mode is accurately optimized based on riding, falls and
crashes data coming from the use of the System in this street-riding context.
In Street Mode, the System becomes active after detecting approximately 10 seconds of
continuous riding. Once activated, the System remains active even if the rider stops, and
until the System is manually switched off, to offer protection also in a stationary condition,
when the motorcycle is hit by a vehicle, as described in the Section 3.2 "Stationary Crashes".
As summarized in Table 1, in Street Mode the Envelope of Protection includes:
- Crashes against Obstacles or Vehicles (Section 3.1)
- Stationary Crashes (Section 3.2)
- Low-Side Falls (Section 3.3)
- High-Side Falls (Section 3.4)
3.6 Envelope of Protection: RACE MODE
The Race Mode is recommended when the User is riding on a closed circuit race track.
The System function for Race Mode is accurately optimized based on riding, falls, and crash
data coming from the use of the System in this racing context.
In Race Mode, the System becomes active after detecting approximately 10 seconds of
continuous riding. The System automatically deactivates when no more active riding is
detected for about 20-30 seconds.
