Claim:
An airbag arrangement for a vehicle occupant restraint system, comprising an airbag inflatable for protecting a vehicle occupant; a gas generator for inflating the airbag; a gas generator carrier at which the gas generator is arranged; a housing part which—with regard to the state of the airbag arrangement installed in the vehicle—covers the airbag towards the vehicle interior, wherein the housing part comprises at least one latching element and the gas generator carrier comprises at least one latching opening assigned to the latching element, the housing part can be connected to the gas generator carrier by inserting the latching element into the latching opening along an insertion direction up to a latching position, where the latching element reaches behind a blocking element adjacent the latching opening and connected to the gas generator carrier such that pulling the latching element out of the latching opening is counteracted, the blocking element is configured in such a way that it at least in sections presses against the latching element in a direction running obliquely or transversely to the insertion direction when a tensile force opposite the insertion direction is exerted on the latching element in latching position, the blocking element comprises a first and a second subsection, wherein the first subsection is connected to the gas generator carrier and via a curvature to the second subsection such that the blocking element is designed at least approximately U- or V-shaped in cross section, the curvature is located on a side of the gas generator carrier that is to be turned towards the housing part, and the blocking element is located inward of an inner surface of the latching element.
