A gas-generating mixture for an air bag, which has a rate of burnoff exceeding 40 mm/sec and good ignitability, but leads to a relatively low combustion temperature. The mixture is formed of an alkali or alkaline earth azide as the principal component, a metal oxide as the oxidizing agent and slag-forming agent, and 5 to 23 wt. % of an accelerator consisting of a metal nitrate and silicon dioxide, wherein the ratio of the metal nitrate to the silicon dioxide ranges from 4:1 to 1:4, and the silicon dioxide content is at least 4 wt. % of the mixture.
