A jockey jacket (14) actuates upon sensing a particular event, such as the jockey falling from a horse during a race. A series of air tracks (9) are inflated by a gas generator to pump up a series of air-pockets, mini-airbags and a collar protection region (110), preferably with a series of concentric circular cylinders which expand and provide resistance to motions that are transverse to the concentric axis. A plurality of caps (152) are telescopically disposed within the tracks (154) and are forced upwards by the injected gas. These caps form a column that, together with the other columns and a support member within the jacket collar, forms an exoskeleton around the jockey's neck. The jacket includes microelectronics (129) to control the jacket actuation.
