A safety device is provided for vehicles whose passenger compartment has at least one closable opening, such as a roof opening and side window. The safety device is provided with a sensor system which detects decelerations in the driving speed occurring in the driving direction and activates a closing device assigned to the closing element of the opening if a deceleration exceeds a predetermined value. As a result, in the event of an accident the vehicle occupants are prevented from being thrown out of the vehicle through the opening or injured by the entry of foreign bodies. The closing device is preferably provided with an energy store which, on being activated in the event of a hazard, brings about a rapid closing movement of the closing element.
