  • Patent number: 5152706
    Abstract: A floatation suit for physically disabled persons includes a jacket, pants, and outrigger floatation members. The outriggers prevent the wearer from tilting or rotating and assist in floatation. By selectively affixing long and short outriggers to both or either the jacket or pants, the degree and location of buoyancy will be controllable. A collar floatation member is attachable to the jacket to stabilize the wearer's head and neck. All components are constructed so as to allow the disabled person to float in the water for recreational and therapeutic purposes, while maintaining the wearer's body in a desired position.
