1. A vehicle occupant detection means and weight responsive classification system for controlling the resistance era restraint device, such that in an accident, an occupant of the vehicle impacts the restraint device without injury;

  • comprising;

    a. at least a supplemental restraint device comprising at least a seatbelt device and at least an airbag device configured with at least a combustion chamber;

    b. at least a seat disposed with a seat mounting structure affixed on at least a floor means;

    c. at least a pressure sensing device comprising at least one weight sensor each secured beneath said at least one seat configured to measure the weight value of at least a vehicle occupant;

    d. a computer apparatus, in signal communication with said pressure sensing device;

    e. a collision force sensor in communication with said computer apparatus;

    f. said computer apparatus responsive to said pressure sensing device for controlling at least an airbag tension for said at least one airbag device, wherein the airbag is rendered of sufficient deployment force to keep the occupant on a seat when a collision is sensed, but is not rendered of sufficient deployment force to cause impact injury to the occupant;

    g. at least one human body temperature sensor in association with said pressure sensing device; and

    ,h. a manually operable check button for testing airbag components resulting in an audio read out of test results.
