ABSTRACT:
A lifesaving apparatus for a human in the form of a waist pack adapted to be worn about the waist of a human. The waist pack has an inflatable vest located therein in a non-inflated/collapsed position. The opening into the interior chamber of the waist pack, where the vest is located, is normally closed by a flap. Extending exteriorly of the waist pack is a manually movable handle. Sufficient manual movement of the handle will cause the vest to inflate, open the flap with the vest being located exteriorly of the pack to then be placed about the head of the human.
