Abstract
An impact protection device in a motor vehicle having a vehicle seat has a taut tightening strap which reaches from the upper area of the backrest into the forward area of the seat cushion, so that the backrest is prevented from folding backwards in a vehicle crash. A protective element is positioned laterally on the vehicle seat, so that the impact of a sitting person moving toward the side during a vehicle crash can be damped.
