Abstract
A safety bag comprising a lower portion secured to a lap belt proximate an inflation source, a middle section and an upper section. The upper section is folded into the middle section and the middle section and upper section are folded into the lower section. When the bag inflates, the lower section first inflates to one side away from the inflation source, the middle section next inflates at approximately a right angle to the lower section, and the upper section inflates last back towards the inflation source. Upon inflation, the bag assumes approximately a “C-shape.”
