The invention relates to an airbag, which is configured to be set from an uninflated state to an inflated state to protect an occupant of a vehicle. According to the invention, it is provided that the airbag has at least two fabric layers which are connected to one another in such a way that a central inflow region forming a first airbag chamber and at least two wing regions forming respective second airbag chambers and extending radially from the inflow region are formed, so that during the inflation operation of the airbag a gas can first flow into the central inflow region and then from the central inflow region into the respective wing regions, distal end portions of the at least two wing regions being connected to one another via a flat tensioning element, so that the distal end portions move axially away from the central inflow region during the inflation operation of the airbag and, in the inflated state of the airbag, radially tension the flat tensioning element at an axial distance from the central inflow region.
