Abstract
A gas bag module () includes a gas bag (), the gas bag having a front wall () facing an occupant () in an inflated state of said gas bag () and being engaged by a first end () of a destructible retaining element (), the retaining element () at least partially preventing an unhindered motion of the front wall () when the gas bag () is inflated. The gas bag module further includes a gas generator () for filling the gas bag (), the gas generator () having a first discharge section () for a through flow of a first quantity of gas. The gas generator () has a separate, second discharge section (), which can have a second quantity of gas flow through it in a way that is selectively independent of a release of the first quantity of gas or has a time delay with respect to the release of the first quantity of gas, the second quantity of gas being hot gas, which flows to the retaining element () through the second discharge section () so as to cause a destruction of the retaining element ().
