An automotive safety device for protecting a vehicle occupant from injury during collision of the vehicle with an obstruction, having an inflatable, normally contracted confinement and a container for storing a source of working media to be converted into pressurized fluid for expanding the confinement, wherein an outlet opening for discharging the pressurized fluid from the container is formed at the lower end of the container and an igniting means for firing an explosive to explosively expand the source of working media into pressurized fluid is positioned at the upper end of the container. The safety device features increased velocity of the flow of the pressurized fluid to the confinement and a reduced noise produced by the blasting of the explosive in the container. |
