Inflatable Body Protecting Assembly

Abstract

An inflatable body protecting assembly for reducing shock to a person from a fall includes a body suit that is worn by a person. The body suit has an inner layer and an outer layer. The inner layer is spaced from the outer layer and defines a channel between the inner layer and the outer layer. A plurality of inflatable sections is mounted on the body suit. Each the inflatable sections are attached to and extend between the inner layer and the outer layer. Each of the inflatable sections extends outwardly of the outer layer and cushions impact to the inner layer when inflated. An actuator is fluidly coupled to each of the inflatable sections and is in fluid communication with air outside of the body suit. The actuator is actuated to inflate or deflate each of the inflatable sections. The actuator is mounted on the body suit.
