Zusammenfassung:A system and method for protecting a vehicle occupant during a deceleration event, which integrates a dynamically deployed device ("DDD") with a seat belt restraint system. The invention uses a seat belt to guide the deployment of a DDD (e.g., an air bag). The DDD is anchored to a vehicle. The DDD is slideably attached to a seat belt of the vehicle such that the dynamically deployed device, when deployed, slides along the seat belt and is held in position by the seat belt.
