An inflator (10), especially for a vehicle safety system, includes a combustion chamber (16) in which a solid propellant (18) combustible under the generation of gas is accommodated, and a compressed gas chamber (24) containing compressed gas (26), wherein even in the non-activated state of the inflator (10) a fluid communication exists between the combustion chamber (16) and the compressed gas chamber (24). The compressed gas (26) contains at least one inert gas as well as oxygen and at least one combustible gas, wherein the combustible gas is provided at a concentration at which no self-supporting conversion of the combustible gas with oxygen takes place.
