A safety arrangement comprises a unit 20 to be located beneath a bonnet 8 of a motor vehicle. The unit can become of increase length (fig 5) in response to a signal from a sensor 35 and may comprise a bellows-sleeve 21 and a gas generator 19. The unit has a catch arrangement 23 that engages part 9 of the bonnet structure so that part of the bonnet structure is engaged and retained when the length of the unit is increased. When the front part of a motor vehicle strikes a pedestrian the bonnet 8 is lifted by unit 20 allowing further deformation of the bonnet decreasing the severity of possible injury suffered by the pedestrian. |
