Abstract

A novel safety device for the driver's cabin of a truck, wherein the driver's cabin demonstrates at least one driver seat (10, 16) with a first side (10a) facing a side window and a second side (10b) opposite the first side, is suggested. The safety device comprises a safety net (20), which is spread next to the second side (10b) of the driver seat (10) at least in the event of a rollover accident. The safety net can be permanently spread next to the driver seat, or it can be rolled up or folded together in the state of rest and only be spread next to the driver seat when needed. The safety net prevents the person sitting on the driver seat from falling to the opposite inner structure of the driver's cabin when the driver's cabin rolls over (FIG. 10).
