Abstract

The present invention relates to a wearable protective device (10) comprising at least one inflatable member (12) designed to move between a rest state and an activated state, at least one inflator device (14) coupled to the at least one inflatable member (12) and designed to inflate the at least one inflatable member (12), and a housing (30) designed to contain the at least one inflator device (14). According to the invention, the housing (30) comprises a detection means (33) suitable for movement between a first configuration and a second configuration, and insertion of the at least one inflator device (14) into a retention seat (40) of the housing (30) causes movement of the detection means (33) from the first configuration to the second configuration. The present invention also relates to a method for safely activating the inflatable member (12) of the wearable protective device (10).
