Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application 60/822797, filed Aug. 18, 2006, which is incorporated herein by reference.
- The present invention relates generally to water sports equipment, and more particularly, to a water safety flag for attachment to a life jacket to improve visibility of persons in the water.
- The sport of water skiing by towing a skier behind a boat has gained popularity steadily since the 1950's. As a result the number of accidents from this activity has spurred the need for better equipment, safety devices, and better life jackets. It has been common practice for a person who has fallen off their skis, referred to herein as a “downed skier”, to simply point their ski up and out of the water to aid in signaling their location. In the 1980's the introduction of the one foot square orange “skier down flag” began to increase the level of safety on the water by alerting nearby boaters that a downed skier or ski equipment was in the vicinity of the skier's boat. This is done by raising the flag on the boat from the time the skier has fallen, until the time they either resume skiing or get back on the boat. This flag is currently mandatory in twelve states and has dramatically improved safety for downed skiers and passing boat traffic.
- Today, the number of boats towing skiers, wake boarders, and towable ride-on toys, and the increased popularity of Personal Water Craft on the water, has made water safety an even greater priority than ever before. The increased volume of traffic, types of activities, and the speed at which they travel is now surpassing the capability of the standard boat-bound “skier down flag” to effectively signal all craft and traffic of the presence and location of downed skiers in the area. It is even difficult for the driver of the downed skier's boat to monitor all of the water traffic and effectively spot and track the downed skier they are trying to retrieve. Many of today's popular recreational boating activities are such that the participant is only a “passenger” riding on a device. When the rider falls off the device they are left in the water with only their life jacket. Without an actual ski or other object to hold up in the water, their visibility is minimal, leaving only the person's head and maybe a small portion of the shoulders of the life jacket above water. This small silhouette can be very difficult to see at high speeds, choppy water or bad light conditions consisting of either too much or not enough light, making it far too easy for a downed skier to go undetected and fall victim to a collision.
- The present invention relates to a water safety flag that attaches to a life jacket for improving the visibility to watercraft in the area of a “downed skier” or other person in the water. The safety flag comprises a flag assembly secured to a backside of a life jacket, and a flag holder secured to a front side of the life jacket. The flag assembly includes a flexible, resilient flag pole and a flag attached adjacent an upper end of said pole. The flag pole bends over the shoulder of a user in a stowed position and stands upright in a deployed position. The flag holder secures the upper end of the flag assembly when the flag assembly is in the stowed position. The safety flag can be used in a wide variety of water sports, such as canoeing, boating, sailing, swimming, fishing, and kayaking.
