Abstract
The disclosed airbag is for an occupant protection device, which protects a vehicle occupant in the event of an accident. In order for the airbag to provide a vehicle occupant with a great protective effect, an embodiment may comprise at least one supporting chamber, which gives the airbag mechanical stability in the inflated state, and at least one energy absorption chamber, which is designed to be more gas permeable than the supporting chamber. With such a configurations the energy absorption chamber absorbs more energy than the supporting chamber during the first phase of an accident.
