Abstract
A wearable distress device includes a smoke generating unit, an activation circuitry comprising a battery, a switch and a filament interconnected such that upon operation of the switch the filament is heated for igniting the smoke generating unit. The device further includes an enclosure comprising a smoke generating unit chamber configured to house the smoke generating unit and the filament, the smoke generating unit chamber having a smoke outlet wall formed by a portion of an outer wall of the enclosure, the smoke outlet wall comprises a material being heat reactive such that upon ignition of the smoke generating unit a smoke outlet is formed by burning and/or melting through the smoke outlet wall.
