Point two connection strap – optimal safety for equestrian airbag vest
The Point Two connection strap is a key component in the safety system for riders equipped with a Point Two airbag vest. It acts as a reliable link between the airbag vest and the dedicated airbag saddle strap, ensuring flawless activation of the system in the event of a fall. This strap has been specially designed to offer flexibility, reliability, and ease of use, meeting the expectations of riders seeking a safe and efficient solution for their protective equipment.
What is the point two connection strap used for?
The Point Two connection strap acts as an essential link in the airbag safety system. It securely connects the rider, via their vest, to the horse's saddle, enabling the gas cartridge to activate immediately in an emergency situation (sudden deceleration, ejection, or rider fall).
Its unique advantages allow for:
- a secure and reliable connection between the saddle strap and the airbag vest;
- an instantaneous activation system thanks to its swivel ring, designed to release at the right moment;
- optimal and symmetrical operation that ensures controlled activation of the Point Two airbag, thus limiting the risk of unwanted deployment;
- perfect adaptability to the Point Two airbag vest range, guaranteeing complete compatibility without compromising safety.
Compatibility and installation of the point two connection strap
The Point Two connection strap is exclusively intended for Point Two airbag vests and must only be used with the compatible saddle strap. It fits all Point Two airbag models, regardless of the type of saddle (jumping, dressage, cross country, or all-purpose).
Thanks to its clever system, the connection strap is very simple to attach:
- Identify the Point Two saddle strap already installed on your saddle and suited to your discipline.
- Secure one end of the connection strap to the saddle strap ring, making sure it is properly engaged and the swivel mechanism moves freely.
- Before mounting, attach the other end of the strap to your Point Two airbag vest according to the manufacturer's instructions (usually at the trigger box).
- Check the correct positioning of the strap, ensuring there is no excessive tension or looseness, to guarantee the system’s responsiveness.
- Always remember to disconnect the connection strap before dismounting to prevent accidental deployment of the airbag.
The adjustable length allows you to adapt the connection to the rider's build, the saddle model, and the chosen discipline. The distinctive swivel ring feature enables quick and efficient detachment of the strap during a fall, preventing any blocking point: safety and comfort in service of the rider!
Operation and advantages of the point two connection strap
An ideal mechanical interface, the Point Two connection strap is designed to ensure:
- immediate transmission of force in the event of a hazardous movement,
- precise activation reducing the risk of injury by rapidly triggering the airbag,
- exceptional durability thanks to wear-, tension-, and weather-resistant materials,
- exclusive compatibility with all Point Two airbag models for safe and compliant use.
The strap’s innovative swivel system is an additional safety assurance. When a force greater than normal is applied (such as in a fall or sudden separation between rider and saddle), it disconnects the strap from the vest. This instant action releases the striking pin mechanism on the gas cartridge integrated in the airbag, instantly inflating the protective system around the rider.
Precautions for use
- Never use the connection strap without the dedicated saddle strap: Direct connection to a D-ring, handle, or any other unsuitable saddle ring could lead to leather tearing or failure of the airbag to deploy.
- Regularly check the overall condition of the connection strap (stitching, buckles, integrity of the swivel ring). Replace immediately if you notice wear, deformation, or oxidation of any component.
- Strictly follow the manufacturer’s instructions when installing and removing the strap to ensure the safety of both the device and the user.
- Material: high-strength woven nylon strap, hardware designed to withstand heavy tension and weather, ensuring reliability and longevity season after season.
- Consider carrying a spare connection strap during competitions, long rides, or intensive use so you can quickly handle any equipment issues.
By choosing the Point Two connection strap for your airbag vest of the same brand, you opt for an approved safety solution designed to meet the demanding requirements of modern riding. This discreet yet essential component allows you to enjoy your activity with true peace of mind, always keeping effectiveness and ease of installation at hand. Install once, check always – the guarantee of reliable connection and perfect activation when every second counts for rider safety. Finally, make sure to regularly stock up on suitable airbag cartridges to ensure your equipment is fully effective with every use.
