Abstract
A flotation harness and kinetic safety system includes a vest-style harness having an internal buoyant material for functioning as a personal flotation device. An elongated kinetic recovery cord is connected to the back panel. A length adjustment mechanism is positioned along the cord and a clip is positioned along the distal end of the cord for engaging an overhead portion of a boat. At least one adjustment belt is positioned along the harness body. A pelvic support panel extends down from the back panel of the harness body and connect to the front panels. The pelvic support panel works in conjunction with the kinetic recovery cord to selectively support the weight of a user as the boat encounters waves.
