A occupant restraint system which is activated instantaneously at an vehicle accident such as a roll-over or side collision, to receive a shoulder of an occupant so that it may restrict the shoulder of the occupant against the vertical or transverse impact accelerations to be received by the occupant, thereby to protect an occupant's body against a disaster. An occupant restraint system A is provided on the back 1a of a seat 1 with a shoulder top restraint device 4 for restraining the right shoulder portion of the occupant 2. The occupant restraint system A is provided on the side portion of the back 1a of the seat 1 with a shoulder side restraint device 5A, which includes: a motor 12 adapted to be actuated by a sense signal of a motor vehicle accident; an instantaneous turning mechanism unit 13 driven by the motor 12; bifurcated arms 14A mounted on the instantaneous turning mechanism unit 13; and a shoulder receiving portion 15A mounted on the other ends of the bifurcated arms 14A for protecting the shoulder side 3b of the body of the occupant 2. |
