A vehicle occupant gas restraining system including a gas generator which generates gas and directs a flow of gas at a vehicle occupant with a force enabling to restrain a vehicle occupant from a forward inertial movement during a vehicle collision. The gas restraining system excludes a contact between its members and the occupant's body. The gas restraining system comprises a means for sensing a crash of a vehicle and a gas generator located in front of the vehicle seat. The gas flow can have an adjustable force based on crash severity and on weight of a vehicle occupant. The means for sensing a crash activates the gas generator when the crash sensor senses a crash of a selected severity. The entire process of a gas generation, a gas flow direction at a vehicle occupant, and a stop of the gas generation takes place in a fraction of a second, and it will not interfere with the driver's visibility, or the ability to steer or operate other controls.
