Abstract
An airbag arrangement for a motor vehicle includes an inflatable element having two opposed side faces. Mounting straps extend from each side face to mounting points provided in the roof of the motor vehicle. The mounting points are spaced apart transversely. When inflated the inflatable element extends down from the roof of the motor vehicle to be located between heads of the occupants of two adjacent seats. Part of the inflatable element between the straps is in contact with the roof and the straps associated with each side face are tensioned so that the airbag is held firmly in position.
