Wearable protection device

A wearable protection device for protection of at least a body part of a wearer, comprising an inflatable element configured to be arranged adjacent to a body part to be protected,

• wherein the inflatable element is inflatable from a first, uninflated condition to a second, inflated condition, by application of a releasable source of a gas to the inflatable element, for at least partially filling of the inflatable element with said gas,
• wherein the inflatable element, when being inflated to the second inflated condition, assumes a predetermined three-dimensional shape,
• wherein the inflatable element comprises a first extension in a first direction and a second extension in a second direction,
• wherein the first direction and the second directions are non-parallel to one another,
• wherein one of the first extension and the second extension in the first condition is larger than in the second condition, and wherein the other one of the first extension and the second extension in the first condition is smaller than in the second condition, so that when transitioning from the first condition to the second condition, the inflatable element increases in dimension in one extension while the inflatable element decreases in dimension in the other extension,
• wherein the wearable protection device is reversibly connected to an attachment device for attaching the wearable protection device to the wearer,
• wherein the wearable protection device is adapted to be at least partially slidable relative to the attachment device, so that when one of the first extension and the second extension becomes smaller while inflating the inflatable element, the wearable protection device is configured to slide along the attachment device while maintaining being connected to the attachment device and being configured to be arranged adjacent to the body part to be protected;
• and
• wherein the wearable protection device is connected to the attachment device by a plurality of loop elements, wherein the loop elements are adapted for accommodating the attachment device and are arranged for sliding along a length of the attachment device.
