ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a side airbag for an automotive vehicle comprising a venting regulation device formed by a part made of a flexible material (21) joined to the inflatable cushion (11) such that it can completely or partially close or free the venting opening (17), and a tension belt (23) joined by one part to said part made of a flexible material (21) and by another part to the inflatable cushion (11), the geometric configurations of said tension belt (23) and said part made of a flexible material (21) being determined such that the degree of closing/freeing of the venting opening (17) varies according to the width of the inflatable cushion (11) during its different deployment phases during the collision, being closed in the initial and end phases and freed in the intermediate phase.
