Airbag compulsory in Alpine skiing speed races
The'airbag, the back protection tested so far especially by motorcyclists, è mandatory from this season for all athletes engaged in downhill and super-G races.
This was confirmed by the International Federation (FIS), which had decided on the measure last June at its congress in Dubrovnik (Croatia), reiterating that the safety of athletes è priority issue.
An appeal in this regard è came recently from the family of Matilde Lorenzi, the Piedmontese skier on the junior national team who died after a training accident in South Tyrol.
