An apparatus comprises an inflatable vehicle occupant protection device (20) and a gas generating composition (16). The gas generating composition (16), when ignited, produces gas to inflate the inflatable vehicle occupant protection device (20). The gas generating composition comprises an oxidizer and an energetic binder system. The energetic binder system comprises at least 90% by weight of a thermoplastic elastomer and from 0 to about 10% of a component selected from the group consisting of a plasticizer, a burn rate modifier, a processing aid and combinations thereof. The thermoplastic elastomer is a copolymer of bis-3,3-nitratomethyl-oxtane (BNMO) and nitratomethy-methyl-oxetane (NMMO).
