A head-restraining and safety support device for use with a body splint/litter apparatus, the apparatus having a head-rest section at one end thereof. This invention includes the use of a durable, lightweight, three-section cushion which may be used to effectively cover and restrain, for the purpose of safety, the head of an accident victim who is being placed on the body splint/litter apparatus preparatory to being transported to a medical facility. Two flexible attaching members are connected to the rear edges of the opposing side cushion sections. The attaching members are fastenable to the head section of the body/splint litter apparatus by any convenient fastener such as hooks, snaps or ties, but preferably by the use of velcro fastening means. A main forehead strap protects and restrains the head from forward motion and a chin strap provides additional restraint and support, both straps being secured by any convenient means at one end of each to the front edge of one side of the cushion member, and fastenable by any convenient means to the outer surface of the opposite cushion section.
