The guard comprises a stand that is adapted to be mounted adjacent the seat, and a harness which is attachable to the body of the person sitting on the seat, and interconnected with the stand so that when the person has a syncope reaction, his head and upper trunk can fall forward from the sitting position into a slumped downward condition above the floor, but once he is in the latter position, the harness arrests his fall and retains his head and upper trunk above the floor. It also comprises an alarm device, and an actuator which is connectable to the body of the person and operative to sound the alarm when the person's body slumps into the aforesaid downward position above the floor.
