Even better though, both those airbags have
won the "Award of Excellence" at the
INDUSTRIAL FABRIC ASSOCIATION INTERNATIONAL.
For nearly 60 years, the International Achievement
Awards have recognised design and technological
innovation and excellence in the specialty fabrics
industry throughout the world. The airbags were
competing against 348 entries from companies
in 13 countries. Entries in 27 categories were
judged by a diverse panel of industry experts,
editors, architects, educators and design professionals
who were selected for their knowledge of the
particular category of competition. Judging
was based on complexity, design, workmanship,
uniqueness and function.
ABOUT
OUR UNIQUE AIR BAG SYSTEM
Almost all the games at Action World
are world first activities at the moment there
is no other place on earth where the same games
exist, making this possible is the uniquely
patented airbag design. What is obvious from
the outside is what the tubes offer a 'crumple'
effect which absorbs impact exactly like a shock
absorber. What is not obvious is the internal
workings of the tube system. You see - if the
tubes were simply open at the bottom they would
collapse too fast and offer very little protection.
It took many experimental versions of the bag
as you see it today to come up with a design
that allows the tubes to collapse at just the
right speed to offer maximum protection.
