Method for controlling inflation of an airbag in a vehicle which protects an occupant from injury in a crash involving the vehicle includes sensing a crash, inflating the airbag to protect the occupant during the crash, sensing contact between the airbag and the occupant during inflation of the airbag, and adjusting the continued inflation of the airbag after contact of the airbag with the occupant based on the sensed contact. Contact between the airbag and the occupant may be sensed in a variety of ways. One way is to arrange or otherwise incorporate a sensor in connection with the airbag to sense contact between the airbag and the occupant during inflation of the airbag, the continued inflation of the airbag after contact of the airbag with the occupant being adjusted based on contact between the airbag and the occupant as sensed by the sensor.
