The inventive concept discloses an inflatable life preserver device compacted within a wristband, in a convenient, minimally-sized form that operates simply by pulling of at least one rip-cord attached within the wristband. A floating plastic sac internal to the wristband is then deployed, and produces immediate mixing of water and internally contained, powdered acidic and alkaline substances. When the two types of substances are combined with a minute quantity of the water flowing into the plastic sac, a chemical reaction is created within the plastic sac. This condition generates, in the preferred embodiment, carbon dioxide gas. The entirety of the deployed plastic sac remains attached to the wristband. In this manner, the float device is inflated, providing substantial buoyancy, enabling the wearer to stay afloat in an emergency situation.
