impact, thereby reducing the risk of
injury to the head in the event of a
side-on impact considerably.

inflates clear of obstructions.
The hooks on the handles in the
roof frame are only suitable for
hanging up light articles of
clothing, without coat hangers. Do not keep any items in these
clothes.
