Modular Garment Segment Pressurization Response

A method of detecting an injury threat event, the method comprising:

• provide a detection apparatus comprising:
• a responsive apportioned garment comprising at least one garment detection zone (GDZ), wherein each GDZ comprises an interior region that is vacuum-sealed;
• at least one sensor module disposed within the interior region of each GDZ, the
• at least one sensor module configured to detect a change in pressure within the vacuum-sealed interior region;
• and
• communicable couple a remote alert device (RAD) to the at least one sensor module of each GDZ;
• receive a signal from the at least one sensor module indicating the change in pressure detected,
• detect an injury threat event based on the signal, and
• trigger an alert in response to detecting the injury threat event.

An apparatus suitable for injury threat event detection, the apparatus comprising:

• a responsive apportioned garment comprising at least one garment detection zone (GDZ), wherein each GDZ comprises a region of sub-atmospheric pressure;
• means for detecting a loss of the sub-atmospheric pressure;
• and
• means for generating an alert in response to detecting the loss of sub-atmospheric pressure.
