A safety arrangement for a motor vehicle is disclosed which comprises an air-bag module () having an inflatable air-bag () in fluid communication with an inflator (). An internal tether () is provided having a first end () and a second end (). The first end () of the tether is connected to a restrainable part () of the air-bag, whilst the second end () of the tether is free from connection with the air-bag but is initially trapped between the folds or rolls of an initially folded or rolled part of the air-bag. The arrangement is such that, upon inflation of the air-bag, the tether serves to restrain the restrainable part () of the air-bag until such time as the folded or rolled part of the air-bag () becomes sufficiently unfolded or unrolled to release the second end () of the tether ().
