A safety device for a motor vehicle seat, comprising:
- a seat surface extending along a longitudinal direction of the seat;
- a securing element assigned to the seat surface;
- and
- a drive device operatively connected to the securing element and configured to be activated in a crash situation, in order to move the securing element out of a starting position;
- wherein the securing element is configured to act on the seat surface, without changing the spatial position of the seat surface so that the seat surface and the securing element oppose the forward displacement of an object resting on the seat surface in the longitudinal direction of the seat;
- wherein the drive device includes a mechanism for returning the securing element into the starting position, so that after the securing element is returned into the starting position, a new movement of the securing element in a new crash situation is ensured, and
- wherein the drive device further includes a motor device which, in a crash situation, serves for moving the securing element out of the starting position and/or which serves for returning the securing element into the starting position.
