RE:   Registration Statement on Form SB-2

Gentlemen:

As counsel to Flight Safety Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), we have participated in the preparation of the Company's Registration Statement on Form SB-2 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to the registration of 2,078,964 shares of the Company's $.001 par value common stock owned by the selling security holders (the "Shares"). As counsel to the Company, we have examined such corporate records, certificates and other documents of the Company, and made inquiries of such officers of the Company, as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of this opinion. Based upon such examinations, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been and are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of the common stock of the Company. We hereby consent to the inclusion of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement on Form SB-2 filed by the Company and the reference to our firm contained therein under "Legal Matters."

Very truly yours,

TOBIN, CARBERRY, O'MALLEY,
   RILEY & SELINGER, P.C.
