ABSTRACT:
A seat, in particular an aircraft passenger seat, has a seat component (10) and a backrest component (12) made at least in part of shell components. One shell component (22) is detachably connected to other components of the seat by a fastening mechanism. In the event of sudden introduction of force, as in the event of a crash, the shell component (22) is detached from the other components of the seat. A passive element is created by the shell component. When normal operating forces are present, that is, in the normal operating state of the seat, the passive element retains its position and shape. In the event of introduction of large force impulses, such as in sudden introduction of force in the event of a crash, the passive element is detached from the remaining shell structure of the seat without significant reaction forces being generated, which might cause injury of the seat occupant, and creates a free space in the seat.
