  "textContent": "The invention relates to a safety pedal system for an automotive vehicle. In particular the present invention relates a safety pedal system for an automotive vehicle comprising a pedal mounted in a pedal mounting arrangement arrangeable to at least partly release said pedal from said pedal mounting arrangement in event of a collision. Said safety pedal system further comprises a triggering device arranged to receive a collision event signal and in response thereto trigger release of said pedal from said pedal mounting arrangement. Said triggering device may comprise a pyrotechnical device arranged to exert a force on said pedal mounting arrangement thereby triggering release of said pedal from said pedal mounting arrangement. The invention also relates to a corresponding method. One object of the invention is to enable a pedal to be quickly and reliably released from its built-in mounting position in the event of a collision in order to avoid that the pedal is forced back into the driver's feet or leg which could severly injure the driver.",
