ABSTRACT:
Safety Trousers comprising two legs linked by a crotch. The trousers are chest high and include an upper chest part and a back part linked by adjustable shoulder straps. The safety trousers also include a strap, permanently affixed to the sides and back of the trousers but free from the sides to the front. The free ends of the straps are designed to be retained by a flap which serves to nonpermanently affix the strap in a configuration reminiscent of a belt. A tether is designed to be attached to the free ends of the strap. In the event of a dynamic force that would lift a wearer off his feet, the flaps would release and the dynamic force would act upon the individual's underarm region. This results in the individual remaining in an upright and relatively safe condition. The invention is especially suitable for the sailing and boating industry.
