The device of forcing is under a pillow and is connected to it an opening through which gas at receipt of an electric signal is supplied. The signal is given on the cable winded in a flexible spiral around a wheel shaft. 2 sensors at blow with the set force close a chain. Operation of the device of gas emission happens only at short circuit of contacts of the safety sensor on which signals from 2 sensors of shock loading arrive.
