Abstract
An air bag module in a motor vehicle includes an elongate container, which can be fixed along a frame part of the vehicle and in which an air bag is folded which, after a crash signal, is filled with gas, emerges from the container and covers vehicle parts in the passenger space two-dimensionally. Additionally, an element, absorbing energy due to its deformation upon impact with a passenger, is mounted in or at the container along the frame part of the vehicle.
