ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to an impact cushioning device for protecting bed occupants from fall-related injuries. The cushioning device generally comprises an inflatable air cushion or a variety of other impact absorbing materials. The impact absorbing cushion is stowed adjacent to the bed and adapted to rapid displacement when weight of the occupant is removed from the bed. The impact cushioning device is oriented to the bed in a manner wherein the cushion creates a barrier between the bed occupant and the floor when displaced.
