A support strap (10) has cooperating connection means and tightening means (12) adjacent its ends enabling the strap to be formed into a first loop (24) which is passed around the seat back (26), with the connection and tightening means being behind the seat back, A restraining strap (28) has cooperating connection, means and tightening means (36) adjacent its ends enabling the strap to be formed into a second loop (34), longer than and in substantially the same plane as the first loop. The restraining strap is secured to the support strap intermediate the ends thereof and is passed around the upper arms (42) of the person and behind, the seat back, where it is secured and tightened. Neither the support strap nor the restraining strap has a reiea.se device intermediate the ends thereof. The person is thereby restrained, in a. reliable manner without substantial risk of injury.
