A gas generating system ( 24 ) is provided including a gas generant container ( 34 ) and an initiator ( 28 ). The initiator ( 28 ) is positioned exterior of the gas generant container ( 34 ) so as to enable fluid communication with the container ( 34 ) upon activation of the initiator ( 28 ). A gas generant composition ( 32 ) is placed within the container ( 34 ). In one embodiment, the gas generant container ( 34 ) has sufficient rigidity to maintain a predetermined shape prior to positioning of the gas generant ( 32 ) therein, and is penetrable by combustion products resulting from activation of the initiator ( 28 ). A flame retardant ( 33 ) is positioned within the housing 17 exterior of the gas generant container ( 34 ) but in reactive proximity thereto. A seatbelt device ( 150 ) and a vehicle occupant restraint system ( 180 ) incorporating a gas generating system as described herein are also disclosed.
