The Association of Quebec snowmobilers is presenting a world first in the history of snowmobiling this next weekend during the Motorized Recreational Sports Show in Quebec. .

The Hélite airbag jacket, designed by the Belgium manufacturer Hélite, inflates if the rider is ejected from his snowmobile absorbing shocks to the neck, spine, back, hips and chest. This innovation could save lives and prevent snowmobilers from suffering serious injury in the dorsal and cervical areas during an ejection from the vehicle or in the event of a collision. In addition, it also provides flotation in case of water immersion. The AdmdQ will be testing exclusively throughout the next season the Hélite airbag jacket.
