Patent ID: 7434836

Claim:
An airbag module, comprising: a gas generator; an airbag; and a gas-conducting device connecting the airbag and the gas generator, the gas-conducting device including at least one outflow opening through which gas of the gas generator is conducted into the airbag, wherein the airbag module being configured such that, in an event of undesired triggering of the gas generator due to external heating, the airbag module behaves in a thrust-neutral manner, or at least approximately in a thrust-neutral manner, wherein the gas-conducting device is in the form of a gas lance and projects into the airbag, wherein both at least one outflow opening and at least one additional gas outlet opening are located in the gas lance, and wherein the at least one additional gas outlet opening is provided in such a manner that, only in the event of undesired external heating, thrust action of the gas emerging from the at least one additional gas outlet opening at least approximately neutralizes the thrust action of the gas emerging from the at least one outflow opening.
