A life preserving system for inflating an inflatable volume, the system including an inlet (35) connected to the inflatable volume, and an inflator (22), the inflator (22) being removably attachable to the inlet (35) from the outside of the inflatable volume. The inflator (22) comprises a cavity (24) capable of receiving a gas canister(26), an actuating mechanism (31) capable of puncturing the canister (26)to release the gas, a flow path and an outlet (30), such that when the inflator (22) is attached to the inflatable volume, operation of the actuating mechanism (31) results in gas flowing from the gas canister (26), through the inflator's flow path and outlet (30), through the inflatable volume's inlet (35), and into the inflatable volume. The removal of the inflator (22) is only effected by a user manually applying at least two separate movements performed upon the inflator. The forces or actions to remove the inflator may be applied simultaneously or sequentially.
