This year, the organization of the Dakar integrated to the 2021 regulations the implementation of new measures to improve the safety of bike and quad pilots. Among these measures features the obligation to wear an airbag jacket. 

As mentioned in the article 32 of the 2021 Bike & Quad regulations, the pilot commits to wear an airbag jacket with a fully functional cartridge and to carry with them on their machine one replacement pressurized cartridge.

The latter will be available at the refueling points of each stage as well as in the bivouac. To get a new cartridge, the pilot will have to return his used cartridge.
