ABSTRACT:
An improved cushion of buoyant material for an airplane seat in which the cushion is removably attached to the seat, such as by Velcro strips. The cushion has straps to receive the arms of the passenger sitting on the cushion whereby the passenger can become coupled to the cushion and cause the cushion to be separated from the seat by pulling the cushion away from the seat. The cushion is formed from a number of hinged sections which pivot forwardly and partially around the passenger to stabilize the passenger when the passenger is in the water and coupled to the cushion by the straps. Actuating devices cause the forward pivoting of the hinged sections when the cushion is pulled away from the seat.
