Abstract

In an electric control circuit adapted to a safety apparatus including a plurality of actuators in parallel with each other to be electrically operated upon deceleration of vehicle in excess of a predetermined magnitude, a plurality of resistors are connected in series with the respective actuators, each resistance value of the resistors being predetermined in such a manner that even when one of the actuators is shorted at its conductors, a sufficient electric current is supplied to the remaining actuators.
