Flexible lifesaving devices, such as life vests, pilot suits, lifeboats, lifebuoys, providing flotation to their users. An internal inflation space, integral to the device, has a volume sufficient when inflated, to provide flotation to a person or persons having up to a predetermined weight, using the device. Pressurized flotation gas, having a volume in its gaseous phase sufficient to inflate the internal space, is contained in a flexible pressurized gas container, such as a length of tubing or a pouch in a wall of the device, and enables the device to be both flexible and foldable. A valve connects the flexible container with the internal inflatable space of the device, such that when the valve is opened, the volume of pressurized flotation gas flows into the internal space. The flexible container is a regulatory required part of the device, which is thus flexible and foldable.
