1. A pedestrian safety device for a motor vehicle, comprising:
- an inflatable airbag comprising a volume portion and a gas inlet channel, the gas inlet channel being connected with the volume portion;
at least one extendable or separable safety strap configured to allow a displacement of an inflated volume portion in an impact direction, the at least one extendable or separable safety strap holding the volume portion in a first position and being extendable or separable under stress caused by a collision of a person so that the the volume portion is displaceable to at least a second position, whereinthe volume portion is adapted such that in an inflated state the volume portion extends over a windshield of the motor vehicle, andthe pedestrian safety device is configured to allow the volume portion, when inflated, to be displaceable in an impact direction in an event of the collision of the person with the inflated volume portion.
