A rollable structure for suspending a heavy radiation protective garment so as to allow easy movement in a clinical environment subject to exposure to x-radiation. The structure comprises a vertically extending frame that is attachable to a user, and that permits the user to move freely around the clinical environment and to perform clinical duties without having to bear the weight of the shielding garment. The frame is vertically adjustable, and supports upper shield support surfaces for supporting the shoulder portions of a radiation protection apron. The upper support surfaces extend outwardly from the vertical frame. A rollable lower support frame for the vertical support frame is provided that includes a first lower frame extending forwardly from the vertically extending frame. A second lower frame for supporting the vertically extending frame is located at a position other than forwardly of the vertically extending frame. A pair of casters is provided at the lower end of each of the lower frames. A midbody attachment is provided for securing a flexible belt between the vertically extending framework and the use to allow the user to walk with the framework without the use of his hands.
