Abstract

The gas bag including two sections which are separated from one another so that the inflated gas bag has, on its front side facing the occupant to be protected, a gap which runs between the gas bag sections. The gap is spanned by a sheet so that, in the case of an impact directed toward the front side of the gas bag, the occupant to be protected is prevented by the sheet from penetrating into the gap.
