French airbag specialist In&motion has launched its automatic emergency call feature in Germany. After an airbag deploys, even if the rider is unable to respond, the system automatically contacts a dedicated assistance service to summon help.
Calling for rescue automatically even if the rider can't move after the airbag deploys - this In&motion feature really gets at the essence of what protective gear should be. It's not just about the moment of the crash, but how you're protected in the minutes after. It becoming officially usable in Germany is significant. Gear isn't done its job just by being worn - its value comes from actually working when it matters.

Does the airbag vest inflate automatically? Or is it different from the pull-cord type?
Different thing. It's electronic, detects a crash and inflates on its own. In&motion is that kind.
The functionality's nice, but it ends up being a monthly subscription in the end, right. Even the airbag's a subscription now, costs add up.
In&motion is that airbag vest company. They're basically reusing the same crash-detection tech.
The alert probably goes to some partnered service in Germany. Won't mean much in Japan anytime soon.
This is quietly a godsend feature. If you black out from a solo crash, nobody would ever notice otherwise.
Exactly that. That's the scariest part when you're riding a trail alone.
