Abstract
A gas bag for a vehicle occupant restraint system comprises an inflation opening, a fabric piece arranged inside the gas bag opposite the inflation opening and forming an outflow opening for compressed gas which flows through the inflation opening into the gas bag, and at least one tether which is likewise arranged inside the gas bag. The tether is arranged such that the compressed gas flowing out through the outflow opening from a volume surrounded by the fabric piece, substantially does not flow against the tether.
