A human restraint device enables effective restraint by pressing a person's arms against the person's torso. The device includes a band dimensioned to fit over an upper torso and shoulders of a person； an inflatable tube attached to the band, wherein the tube expands during inflation inwards and away from the band, whereby the tube presses against the torso of the person； a net comprising a mouth attached around a circumference of the band； and a gas release mechanism to rapidly inflate the inflatable tube. Net preferably includes a spit-proof material.
