An air-bag is provided for protecting an occupant of a seat of a motor vehicle. The air-bag is to be mounted to the vehicle by mountings. When inflated the air-bag extends downwardly from the roof of the vehicle to occupy a position in front of an occupant of the seat of a vehicle. Each mounting is adapted to release the inflatable element in response to a force having a substantial forward component applied to the air-bag, or in a response to an accident situation when a seat of the vehicle is occupied by an un-belted seat occupant. If there is an un-belted occupant, the air-bag in front of the occupant will be disconnected from the roof, preventing undesirable neck injuries occurring. If the seat occupant is belted, then the air-bag will remain in position in front of the occupant. |
