In an air-bag arrangement in a motor vehicle a gas generator ( 5 ) has a flange ( 8 ) which is spaced from a flange member ( 3 ) by elongate spacer elements ( 9 ). The spacer elements pass through apertures ( 20, 21 ) formed in an air-bag adjacent a central aperture ( 19 ). On inflation of the air-bag, the part of the air-bag surrounding the aperture will be drawn into an engagement with the flange ( 8 ). Should a very high pressure exist within the air-bag, the part of the air-bag surrounding the aperture will be driven away from the flange ( 8 ), with part of the aperture sliding along the elongate elements ( 9 ), thus permitting excess pressure to be relieved.
