ABSTRACT:
A supplemental inflatable restraint system including an air bag for use in a vehicle to restrain an occupant during an accident. The air bag is folded and placed in the module such that inflation of the air bag causes the air bag to be expelled from the module in a substantially folded condition whereby a contact face of the air bag defines a substantially flat or unfolded contact surface for initial contact with a vehicle occupant. The air bag is folded such that top and bottom edges thereof are rolled toward a central location on the air bag. During inflation, the rolled portions unroll upwardly and downwardly across the occupant.
