A life saving device is provided for use on ice or in the water. The life saving device includes a platform having at least one aperture, and at least one inflatable flotation device for affixing to the platform. The platform is a ladder and the at least one aperture is a space between adjacent rungs on the ladder. The inflatable flotation device has two parts, one of the parts comprising a flexible enclosure means for holding a gas, and a second part, which is integrally attached to the first part, which is rigid and has a length and a width which is larger than the at least one aperture in the platform. The second part can be tilted in the aperture before the first part is inflated, and when the first part is inflated the flotation device will be securely attached to the platform. The inflatable flotation device can be inflated by a valve which is similar to a valve which is on a vehicle tire, or it can have a self inflating mechanism which is similar to an inflatable life boat. This means a substantial savings in time to assemble the equipment.
