A garment having at least one layer providing bullet-proof protection for the wearer. One or more additional layers incorporate sensors to detect the magnitude of an impact to generate a signal activating a wireless transmitter to send distress signals and/or positional and other information to a remote base location. Additional sensors may be provided to indicate physical characteristics of the wearer.

1. An apparatus for protecting a user from severe impact and identifying of, the severe impact, the apparatus comprising: a vest having an outer sensing layer, an inner sensing layer and a central layer disposed between the inner sensing layer and the outer sensing layer;wherein the inner sensing layer and the outer sensing layer respectively initiate an impact signal and a penetration signal when they are respectively subjected to an impact above a predetermined level; a transmitter adapted to broadcast a signal notifying that at least one of an impact signal and a penetration signal is generated; a global positioning device for determining the location of the apparatus and generating a signal corresponding to that location; and means for actuating the global positioning device to transmit the location signal when one of said impact signal and said penetration signal is generated.
