A method for protecting a vehicle occupant in a vehicle seat of a vehicle is provided. At least one protection element mounted on the vehicle seat and capable of being triggered to protect the vehicle occupant sitting on the vehicle seat is triggered when a collision is imminent or occurs. A reversible belt tensioner assigned to the vehicle seat is triggered at a time before a triggering of the protection element, and while or as the protection element is triggered, a resulting belt tensioning is released again.
