Abstract

A garment such as a vest or jump suit containing one or more inflatable gas-bags which will automatically expand upon appropriate signals from remote and garment contained deceleration sensors. A unique coded signal system is employed to insure that in fact inflation is required of the gas-bag or gas-bags prior to inflation to prevent accidental inflation.
