The 'Safe Cheer Vest' is an innovative cheering accessory designed to prevent accidents that may occur in a crowded cheering space. In emergency situations, the vest expands to stay safe and prevents compression from the crowd. The chest area expands into a hexagonal structure inspired by the safety of a honeycomb, and it is designed using a pressure-resistant posture with hands gathered to prevent a crush accident. Empty spaces between the volumes were also considered to prevent asphyxiation by securing empty spaces in the chest in the event of a crush accident. It is designed to expand only the front of the chest so that breathing can be easily performed even in complex situations through efficient area utilization. The easy way to use is to pull the pin and gas is injected to expand both sides. After use, the cartridge can be reused only by replacing it, and complex devices are stably stored with a pocket for small belongings and a neat design. "Safe Cheer Vest" is designed not only to prevent accidents but also to be easy to use and maintain, and is versatile and reusable in cheering events through efficient space utilization, easy expansion mechanisms, and convenient cartridge replacement.
