1. Automatic system self-diagnostic electronics perform “good-to-go” system check on every start up: LED lighting in the handle indicates system status
2. JetForce can redeploy multiple times on a single charge, costing nothing – in time or money – to practice as long as needed. Whether deployed for practice, in a false alarm, or during a slide, it is easy to re-arm the system for up to four deployments on a single charge.
3. Cordura airbag made from puncture-resistant automotive material is easy to repack for practice and multiple deployments
4. The Jet fan inflates 200 L airbag in 4 seconds, and automatically deflates after 3 minutes to create a potential air pocket
