An inflatable safety apparatus comprising an exterior shell and a chamber located inside the exterior shell. Inflation means, capable of inflating the apparatus are contained within the exterior shell. A tether is secured to the inflation means. In the event of an emergency at a high altitude location, an individual secured an end of the tether to a fixed object at the location, enters the chamber and exits the location via a window or balcony to free-fall to the ground below. As the tether becomes taught and disengages the inflation means, the inflation means are actuated and cause the exterior shell to fill with gas and inflate. When the apparatus strikes the ground, the individual contained within the chamber is unharmed due to the protective layer of gas which surrounds the chamber and is contained by the exterior shell.
