Secondary crash protection or protection at speeds below which the bag is designed to be deployed, is provided for by a collapsible perforated metal shell (40), disposed internally within the inflatable bag (36), and through which gas from the generator can pass to cause the inflatable bag (36) to deploy in use. <IMAGE></p> |
