Side Facing Divan Airbag Systems

AmSafe aviation airbag systems have been certified and in-service since 2001. Business Jet regulatory changes in 2011 have resulted in significantly more stringent safety requirements regarding neck injury, body-to-body contact, and leg flail injury for the side facing divans. VIDEO 1 evidences that prior to 2011, the following situation was allowed.

AmSafe shoulder harness airbags and anti-leg flail airbag modules are used by the majority of business jet OEMs to meet the latest safety requirements. The shoulder harness airbag system pretensions the shoulder harness, resulting in less body flail. The tubular airbag restricts head movement and prevents neck injury. The anti-leg flair structural airbag module restricts leg movement, preventing breakage of the femur. Please refer to VIDEO 2.
