A protection system for a motor vehicle having a sensor for determining an angle of inclination of the motor vehicle about its longitudinal axis. An airbag attached on an outside of the motor vehicle. A processing device designed to detect a risk that the motor vehicle may tip over, on the basis of the inclination angle determined, and in that case activates the airbag. The airbag can be pivoted in the vertical direction from an area close to the ground.

An airbag module for a roof opening of a vehicle having an expandable safety device configured to be deployed after a dynamic vehicle event, such as a vehicle rollover. The airbag module includes a mechanism and an inflator in order to deploy the expandable safety device across the roof opening of the vehicle.

A shock-absorbing device for vehicles includes a supporting bar, and a gas generator and an airbag arranged on the supporting bar. The airbag includes an inflatable body with a first laminated foil wrapped longitudinally around the inflatable body and a second laminated foil wrapped transversely around the inflatable body. The first and second laminated foils are initially wrapped around the inflatable body in a temporary inflated state of the inflatable body so as to have a length in the respective longitudinal and transverse directions corresponding to the inflatable body in an activated state of the shock-absorbing device.

A vehicle that includes a vehicle body structure and a deployable energy absorbing device. The vehicle body structure defines a vehicle longitudinal direction and has an opening along a lateral exterior side thereof. The opening exposes a hollow interior of the vehicle body structure. The vehicle body structure has a structural member that extends parallel to the vehicle longitudinal direction within the hollow interior inboard of the opening. The deployable energy absorbing device has a deployable member, the deployable energy absorbing device being supported to the structural member of the vehicle body structure within the hollow interior. The deployable energy absorbing device is concealed within the hollow interior in the stowed orientation. The deployable member extends laterally outward perpendicular to the vehicle longitudinal direction and away from the structural member and a lateral exterior side of the vehicle body structure in a deployed orientation.

The operator of a tractor is protected from injury or worse by deploying an air bag from the side of the tractor before the tractor's inclination angle relative to horizontal is less than a predetermined value below which the tractor will tip over.

A roof-mounted energy absorbing countermeasure system for use in a vehicle is provided. In one example, the system may include an impact detection module configured to detect whether a vehicle has experienced an impact and generate an impact detection signal in response thereto. The system may also include a countermeasure disposed between an outer roof panel of the vehicle and an inner roof panel of the vehicle. The outer roof panel and the inner roof panel may be separated by a first distance in a pre-impact state. The countermeasure may be configured to deploy, in response to generation of the impact detection signal, so as to cause at least a portion of the outer roof panel and at least a portion of the inner roof panel to be separated by a second distance that is greater than the first distance.
