A protective garment for minimizing impact-caused injury, primarily to the body of a motorcyclist, comprising a body-part-enclosing covering means including an effectively hollow body-part-contoured inflatable bag provided with ingress port means and exterior inflating tube means communicating the ingress port means and pressurized gas supply means and the normally closed ingress valve means relative to fixed portions of a motorcycle for forcible opening actuation of the normally closed ingress valve means upon forced abrupt separation of a motorcyclist\s body from a motorcycle as a result of an accident, for causing the rapid discharge of compressed gas through the open ingress valve means, inflating tube means, and ingress port means into the inflatable bag whereby to bring about abrupt inflation thereof in a body-protecting manner. In a preferred form, the inflating tube means is provided with controllably manually engageable and disengageable coupling means for allowing selective mounting and dismounting of a motorcyclist relative to a motorcycle without causing forced opening of the ingress valve means and the consequent abrupt inflation of the inflatable bag.
