Abstract

A body protection device in the from of an inflatable vest (10) includes an inflation mechanism that is actuated in response to the separation or removal of the wearer from a vehicle such as a motorcycle, ski-mobile, or personal water craft. Attached to the outside of the vest is a compressed gas cartridge (26) communicating with the interior of the vest through a cartridge communicating withthe interior of the vest through a cartridge actuation mechanism (30) and an inflation tube (34). The cartridge actuation mechanism includes a triggering device that can be actuated to open the cartridge by means of an actuation lever. The actuation lever actuates the triggereing device in response to a pulling force of predetermined magnitude, and in doing so detaches from the actuation mechanism. The actuation lever is connected to the vehicle by a lanyard (36). When a wearer of the vest is forcibly separated from the vehicle, the lanyard exerts an actuation force on the actuation lever, which actuates the triggering device before detaching from the actuation mechanism (30), thereby opening the cartridge (26) and allowing gas from the cartridge to inflate the vest (10). The vest (10) is advantageously provided with a deflation tube and a deflation valve.
