An apparatus (10) for helping to protect a vehicle occupant (52) includes an inflatable device (20). The apparatus (10) also includes a primary inflation fluid source (32) and a secondary inflation fluid source (34) that are actuatable independently of each other. The apparatus (10) includes means (60, 70, 80, 90, 100) for actuating the primary inflation fluid source (32) to inflate the inflatable device (20) to help protect the vehicle occupant (52) without actuating the secondary inflation fluid source (34). The apparatus (10) also includes means (60, 70, 80) for sensing the position of the vehicle occupant (52) subsequent to actuation of the primary inflation fluid source (32) and for providing an output signal (64, 71, 82). The apparatus 10 further includes means (100, 38) for actuating the secondary inflation fluid source (34) in response to the output signal.

The device as claimed in claim 6, wherein the bearing zone (6) has two arms (11, 12) extending in the longitudinal direction of the board, said arms being connected in the vicinity of the mounting zone at the location of the attaching means. 9. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein a layer of viscoelastic material is interposed between the bearing zone and the upper face of the board. 10. A device (1) for raising at least a toe binding used on a board for gliding, including: a mounting zone (5) for mounting said toe binding, fixed to the board to prevent movement of said mounting zone relative to said board; a bearing zone (6), extending from the mounting zone (5) in a direction toward a front end of the board, wherein an end (8) of the bearing zone facing toward the front end of the board is movably pressed against an upper face of the board by attaching means (16) in such a manner that forces exerted at a location of said toe binding are partially transmitted to the board at a location of said end (8) of the bearing zone (6), wherein the bearing zone includes a transverse groove (20), transverse to a longitudinal direction of the board, located between the mounting zone (5) and the bearing zone (6) so as to allow deformation of the bearing zone (6) when the board becomes bent.
