<p>A safety device in a motor vehicle comprises an air-bag (2) which is triggered in response to a side impact. The triggering arrangement (6) comprises sensors (12-19; S1n, S2n) which respond t o deformation of the skin (5) forming the side of the motor vehicle. The sensors are divided into two groups (12-15, 16-19; S1n, S2n) and at least one sensor in each group must be activated for the air-bag (2) to be inflated. Each sensor may comprise a switch (12-19) which is fromed from a printed circuit board (7) carrying adjacent signal tracks (20, 21; 25, 26) with inter-digitated fingers (22, 23) which can be pressed against a contact pad (11).</p> |
