Patent Images
1. An airbag safety system for a vehicle, comprising:
- a plurality of airbags;
at least one sensing device configured to detect if an impact occurs to the vehicle;
at least one inflation module configured to expand the plurality of airbags with gas inflation upon the impact detected by the at least one sensing device;
wherein the plurality of airbags expanded are adjoined to each other by a stabilizing mechanism to form a stable space within which a rider is surrounded and protected from being ejected from the vehicle.

Abstract
An airbag safety system is provided with two or more safety airbags which can be adjoined to protect the rider when a crash occurs. A stabilizing mechanism is used to cause the inflated airbags to adjoin each other so as to form a stable protection space between the vehicle and the adjoined airbags. The adjoined airbags are shaped to meet a rider'"'"'s ergonomics, making sure the rider can be caped for head protection and can be protected within the space surrounded by the airbags from being thrown away off the vehicle and subject to serious injuries.
