A collapsible pressure element (2) for pneumatically stabilized supports enables the simple and rapid construction and dismantling thereof. Several pressure segments (4) are located on that side of the pressure element (2) upon which the transversal stress acts, that is, on the side facing away from the hollow body (at the top in the figure). The pressure segments (4) are separated from one another by means of breaks (5). The breaks (5) between the pressure segments (4) permit the pressure element (2) to be collapsed. A tractive element (6) faces the hollow body (at the bottom in the figure), said pressure element (6) being separated from the pressure segments (4) by one or several spacer elements (7).
A support comprising a hollow body (1), which is supplied with compressed gas, at least one pressure element (2), at least one tractive element (3), wherein the pressure element (2) is stabilized against buckling by means of the hollow body (1) in that said pressure element (2) rests along the hollow body (1) and is connected therewith, characterized in that
