The cross-pleat-folds are disposed substantially transverse to the first-pleats, the first-pleat-folds and the between-first-pleat-folds. The steering wheel safety bag may have from six to twenty such first-pleats and from one to four such cross-pleat-folds. The passenger safety bag may have: from four to eight such first-pleats, from two to six second-pleats, from two to six first-cross-pleats, and from two to six second-cross-pleats.
