Abstract
An apparatus for protecting a vehicle occupant that triggers a restraint means as a function of the vehicle occupant's motion in the context of an accident. The motion is predicted in that by using an occupant detection system and an impact sensor system, a height of the center of mass of the vehicle occupant and a force action on the vehicle occupant are determined, and the motion of the vehicle occupant is thereby predicted.
