Abstract

See full text

A self inflating escape pod in the form of a vest to be worn by an individual to protect their body from a fall when they jump from a high rise building. The vest has a battery, altimeter, motion sensor, bladders and means for inflating the bladders. Removal of the vest from a storage cabinet activates the altimeter which activates the motion detector upon detecting a change in altitude. Upon sensing motion, the motion detector activates inflation of the bladders, forming a pod surround the individual's body. Air channels in the pod provide air to the individual and the pod is designed to accommodate different sizes of individuals. Beacons and reflectors on the pod assist in locating it, and one or more of the bladders will automatically deflate once the individual has stopped falling.
