摘要

The invention relates to an impact protection device for vehicle occupants, comprising a first inflatable airbag (1) for protecting the vehicle occupant, and means for inflating said airbag (1) in a controlled manner. The inventive device also has a second inflatable airbag (4), which is provided for scanning the area between the first airbag (1) and the vehicle occupant and for controlling the means for inflating the first airbag (1) in a controlled manner.
