The present invention relates to a motor vehicle occupant impact protection arrangement. The motor vehicle occupant impact protection arrangement comprises an airbag device within a housing, an airbag device launch trigger, triggering the launching of the airbag device upon a motor vehicle impact, and a sheathing, such as a dashboard in an occupant compartment of the motor vehicle, to which the housing is connected, and behind which, in relation to the occupant, the airbag device is located. The sheathing is having a mouth through which the airbag device, guided by the housing, is launched into the occupant compartment. The sheathing, after the launch of the airbag device, is adapted to essentially return to original state and to essentially close the mouth.
