Abstract
A crash sensor comprising a support arrangement for supporting opposed ends of a yieldable element directly on one of an outer skin of a vehicle and a component adjacent to the outer skin with the yieldable element substantially parallel with the outer skin of the vehicle. A sensor arrangement in the form of resistors mounted on the yieldable element to generate a signal in response to deformation or bending of the yieldable element. A stiffness and a mass of the yieldable element is such that a period for a complete oscillation of the element at its resonance frequency is of at least 2 milliseconds.
