A tensioning system (125, 225, 325, 425, 525, 525', 625, 725) which provides continuous tensioning to an inflatable curtain air bag (110, 210, 310, 410, 510, 510', 610, 710) during deployment of the curtain air bag (110, 210, 310, 410, 510, 510', 610, 710). A dynamic tethering element (137, 237, 337, 437, 537, 537', 637, 737) is utilized which travels in conjunction with the downward deployment of the inflatable curtain air bag (110, 210, 310, 410, 510, 510', 610, 710) so as to both tension the curtain air bac (110, 210, 310, 410, 510, 510', 610, 710) while at the same time providing a guiding action so as to bring the curtain air bag (110, 210, 310, 410, 510, 510', 610, 710) into the proper position at which it is thereafter maintained. |
