Abstract
An airbag has an airbag envelope () having two side walls () enclosing a gas chamber. The first side wall () constitutes herein the impact surface and the second side wall () constitutes the support surface. A traction element () furthermore extends from a first end to a second end, whose first end is connected to the outer side of the second side wall () in order to force the inflated airbag to assume a curved shape. In order to achieve an easy production and assembly, the second end of the traction element () is also connected to the outer side of the second side wall (), wherein the operating length of the traction element () is smaller than the length of the section of the second side wall () that is spanned thereby.
