Abstract: An airbag restraint trait forming part of an airbag restraint system mounted on an automotive vehicle. The airbag restraint unit comprises a storage container having an upper section defining a gas ejection opening. A gas generator is disposed inside the storage container. An airbag is fastened to the upper section of the storage container so that gas from the gas generator flows through the gas ejection opening into the airbag when the gas generator is operated. Additionally, a support sheet is disposed between the gas generator and the airbag to support the airbag in a folded state. The support sheet is fastened at its end sections to the storage container and adapted to break under the action of high temperature and pressure gas from the gas generator.
