Abstract

A safety flag for a life jacket alerts nearby boaters when a user is 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.
