Zusammenfassung:A passenger protection device for a vehicle includes: an impact absorber for absorbing impact energy, which impact absorber has a cavity for receiving and deforming a deformation element during a movement of the deformation element in an advancing direction which is determined by the impact energy; a blocking element for blocking the movement of the deformation element; and a pedestrian protection device which is coupleable to the deformation element and which is designed to actively move the deformation element by a predetermined distance in the advancing direction based on a deactivation of the blocking element.
