Abstract
A safety device for a motor vehicle has a gas generator, an airbag and at least one orifice through which gas flows. The state of fill of the airbag adjusts automatically to each load case by providing an orifice having a duct shape at least in a partial region. The flow resistance in this partial region adjusts automatically as a function of the velocity of the gas flow flowing through the orifice.
