The apparatus ( 10 ) includes an inflatable curtain ( 14 ) that is inflatable away from the vehicle roof ( 18 ) to a position between the side structure ( 16 ) of the vehicle ( 12 ) and the vehicle occupant ( 28 ). The inflatable curtain ( 14 ) includes a main portion ( 100 ) comprising at least one inflatable chamber ( 52 ). The inflatable curtain ( 14 ) also includes a mounting portion ( 102 ) constructed separately from the main portion ( 100 ). The mounting portion ( 102 ) has a lower edge portion ( 108 ) connectable to an upper edge portion ( 106 ) of the main portion ( 100 ). The mounting portion ( 102 ) when connected to the main portion ( 100 ) forms an upper edge portion of the inflatable curtain ( 14 ) that is connectable with the vehicle ( 12 ) to help secure the inflatable curtain in the vehicle.
