<p>A side impact or rollover occupant restraint system (20) has an airbag (22) of sufficient length to extend from a first (30) pillar to at least a second pillar (34) of the vehicle. The airbag, upon inflation, is of sufficient height to extend from proximate a roof rail (38) of the vehicle to a location generally adjacent the shoulder of a 50th percentile sized seated vehicle occupant such that the inflated airbag will lie between the vehicle occupant and a side structure of the vehicle. The airbag includes first and second panels of material that are joined together to create at least one inflatable chamber (101a, b). A plurality of internal tethers or separators form bridges between predetermined regions of the first and second panels such that upon inflation of the airbag these regions are spaced from one another by a particular internal tether.</p> |
