ABSTRACT:
A rescue vest is provided with a pocket extending along the spine area in the back of the vest. A thin, flat, elongated stiffener is removably positioned in the pocket and a head support and protector is removably positioned on the upper end of the stiffener. The vest can be positioned on and strapped to a person's torso, with the stiffener being used to immobilize the person's spine and neck. The vest may be positioned on the person without the stiffener and the stiffener then inserted into the vest. Groin straps attached to the lower portion of the vest enable a person to be lifted by means of the vest. Thus, without the stiffener, the vest may be used for lifting or lowering a rescuer.
