The present invention is a Safety Air Vest Equipment device (S.A.V.E.). The vest includes a shell with a neck and torso opening, and a pair of opposed arm holes. The vest also has an air hose attached, with a one-way valve and quick release valve. The air vest is configured to expand on the wearers neck and upper torso area thus preventing the wearer from sustaining severe cervical and spinal cord injuries. The device would also allow the user to avoid the impact from the force of the air bag being deployed. The device includes buckles in the front of the vest, a seat buckle belt in the rear of the vest, which is attached to the seat. It also has a pivoting hinge which allows forward and backward movement, and prevents the wearer from being ejected from the vehicle. It also has an air hose with a quick release valve and a one-way valve to enables the vest to be disconnected quickly, while remaining inflated until the wearer arrives at a medical facility. While the invention has been described in detail, it will be better understood by those skilled in the art, that changes may be made in the air vests material and equivalents may be substituted without departing from the true spirit and scope of the invention.
