ABSTRACT:
An occupant protection system for an automotive vehicle is provided which includes a pair of squibs for activating a pair of occupant protection units such as an airbag unit and a pretensioner for a seat belt, a backup capacitor, and a switching circuit. The switching circuit serves to allow the electric power stored in the backup capacitor to be supplied to at least one of the occupant protection units upon occurrence of a collision of the vehicle with another object when a sufficient power is not supplied from the power source to the squibs or when a line connected to the power source is broken by the collision of the vehicle.
