The AmSafe® Seatbelt Airbag is the first and only airbag system certified for use on commercial aircraft. It was developed as a cost-effective method of 16g compliance for difficult-to-certify seat placements. AmSafe has improved on this state-of-the-art technology and developed a new version of the airbag system. The design is sleek, is substantially light in weight, contains built-in test equipment diagnostics, and is optimized to support the full class of service installations and fleet-wide retrofits. Just like the original design, the new Seatbelt Airbag looks and operates like a standard AmSafe restraint. In the unlikely event of an otherwise survivable accident, an inflatable bag stored in the lap belt portion of the seatbelt protects passengers of all sizes from traumatic head and neck injury. The Seatbelt Airbag has been in service for over 10 years and has become the most accepted technology solution used to certify challenging seat configurations for over 70 airlines.
