Abstract
An airbag ladder system featuring a ladder and an airbag housing disposed on the side panel of the ladder at the bottom end. One or more airbags are temporarily housed in the airbag housing. When deployed, the airbags surrounds the bottom area of the ladder. Each airbag is connected to an inflation component, which functions to inflate the airbags when activated. The inflation component is operatively connected to a sensor. Latches are disposed along the side panel of the ladder. A tether extending from the airbag housing can be threaded through the latches as a user ascends the ladder. The tether is clipped to a user's clothing. The tether is connected to the sensor such that when the tether is pulled quickly if a user falls from the ladder the sensor activates the inflation component effectively inflating the airbags.
