A new wearable airbag protects which body part?

Answer: the hips

Produced by the Wolk Company in Belgium, Wolk – meaning cloud in Dutch – is a wearable airbag designed to protect the hips of the elderly.

The device is worn around the waist and fastened like a seatbelt, ready to protect the hips and lower back of anyone who falls while wearing it. A video on the company's website shows how it works.
