Segura connection strap – optimal safety for riding airbag vest
The Segura connection strap is the key element that ensures the link between your Segura airbag vest and the saddle airbag strap. Specially developed to guarantee immediate and secure activation in the event of a fall, it connects the rider to their protective equipment while respecting the specific Segura vest system.
What is the segura connection strap for?
The Segura connection strap plays a vital role in triggering your riding airbag. It acts as the central activation element: in the event of a fall, the tension applied disconnects the ball ring, activating the gas cartridge striker and instantly inflating the Segura airbag vest. This mechanical system, reliable and proven, allows the rider to benefit from optimal protection while retaining complete freedom of movement in the saddle.
Essential for the proper functioning of the Segura safety device, the connection strap:
- Ensures a reliable connection between the saddle strap and your airbag vest for constant and flawless protection.
- Guarantees secure and immediate activation in the event of a fall thanks to its ball ring system designed to disconnect only when a strong force is exerted.
- Offers adapted modularity to the Segura system, with no risk of accidental activation while mounting or dismounting.
- Facilitates installation and daily use of your Segura airbag: connecting and disconnecting is intuitive for fast and safe operation with every ride.
Compatibility and installation of the segura connection strap
The Segura connection strap has been specifically designed to only fit Segura airbag vests. It thus guarantees perfect compatibility and maximum safety for all riders equipped with this model. It cannot be used with other airbag systems or brands, to ensure the correct functioning of the entire protective device.
Installation in five simple steps:
- First, install the compatible saddle strap: it should be properly fitted to your saddle, through the stirrup bars or designated attachment points.
- Locate the attachment ring of the saddle strap.
- Attach the Segura connection strap to this ring, ensuring the snap hook is properly secured in the ring or designated loop.
- Attach the other end of the connection strap to the Segura airbag vest system, usually located at the front of the vest.
- Before riding, always check that the connection is secure and that nothing interferes with the activation system.
When dismounting, remember to disconnect yourself from the system by unclipping the connection strap to avoid any accidental activation of the airbag vest.
