Motorcycle safety apparel is disclosed which may be made in stylish and unencumbering designs to encourage regular use by motorcycle riders, and the like, which in the event of an impending or actual accident will inflate to provide a protective enclosure for the parts of the body most susceptible to critical or fatal injury. In the motorcycle application, the apparel is coupled through an umbilical cord to a container of compressed or liquified gas, with a much shorter pull cord being coupled between the rider and the valve of the container to rapidly inflate the apparel on separation of the rider from the motorcycle prior to separation of the umbilical cord.
