摘要

The present invention relates to a garment (10) comprising an inflatable protective device (11). The inflatable protective device (11) comprises: at least one inflatable bag (12), an inflator unit (14) designed for inflating the at least one inflatable bag (12), sensors (17, 18) designed for monitoring the user's body for detecting shocks or unexpected movements and a control unit (19) designed for processing the data provided by the sensors (17, 18) and for activating the inflator unit (14) if, on the basis of the data received by the sensors (17, 18), a danger situation is identified. According to the invention the control unit (19) comprises storing means (25) containing at least two different setup parameter sets and/or firmwares (29) of the control unit (19) for controlling the activation of the inflator unit (14); the control unit (19) being further provided with selecting means (31) for selecting one of the said at least two different setup parameter sets and/or firmwares (29). The invention also relates to a method for adjusting the operational modes of the inflatable protective device (11) of the garment (10).
