<p>A safety arrangement (1) to provide protection for an occupant (2) in a motor vehicle includesa seat-belt (4) provided with a measuring device (8) to measure energy absorbedby the seat-belt. The measuring device may determine the length of safety-belt paid-outafter a retractor (5) locks, the belt being paid-out against a force providedby a force-limiter (6). The energy absorbed is calculated and is used to controlthe vents of a ventable air-bag (15). The air-bag is vented if a substantial partof the energy of the occupant (2) is absorbed by the seat-belt, but is not vented ifa large proportion of the energy has not been absorbed by the seat-belt.</p> |
