ABSTRACT:
An automatically activated device to increase the visibility of a person floating in the water which utilizes an inflatable flag assembly lying within a circular housing which is pivotally connected to a plate. Straps threaded through the plate are used to fasten the device to the body. When the wearer enters the water the flag assembly rises through the housing due to its own buoyancy and the banner portion of the flag remains above the head of the wearer. The pivotal connections maintain the flag assembly in the vertical posture even as the wearer bobs in the water.
