A force limiter in a vehicle occupant restraint system comprises a tube, a piston displaceably arranged in the tube, a traction and thrust devices connected with the piston element, and at least one roller body. The piston has a stop provided thereon and a radial exterior with at least one ramp surface. The roller body on displacement of the piston in a direction of movement travels along the ramp surface up to the stop and is pressed radially outwards into a wall and plastically deforms the wall. The stop has an extension which protrudes in the direction of movement and extends radially outside a point of the roller body which lies furthest opposed to the direction of movement.
