Abstract
A vehicle occupant restraint system comprises a compressed gas source, a gas bag inflatable with compressed gas furnished by the compressed gas source which generates a gas flow, and a valve through which the gas is able to escape from the restraint system. Thee valve is arranged such that it is impacted by the gas flow and the valve reduces its flow cross-section upon an increase in pressure of the gas flow.
