A safety-belt arrangement for a motor vehicle has a safety-belt (74) with an end fixing (73) in the form of a plate having an aperture (75). The end fixing may be inserted into a slot (72) formed in a rotatably mounted spool (55). A spring-biased catch (76) is provided which engages the aperture (75) to retain the end fixing in position. When the end fixing is in position a spring catch (70) is released permitting the spool (55) to rotate under the influence of a spring bias. If a severe force is applied to the belt (74), part of the belt is withdrawn from the spool under a force limiting effect. The spool may additionally be associated with a pre-tensioner.
