ABSTRACT:
The side walls of an airbag module are formed separately from the main body of the module. They are attached to the main body by means of a rotatable connection and are maintained in their normal position by the module end plates. Upon receiving a compressive impact, such as through the instrument panel, the wall buckles while it rotates about the connection, thereby absorbing energy to prevent serious injury to the occupant.
