ABSTRACT:
A side impact head air bag (50), when inflated, has a C-shaped body portion (160) which includes side sections (172, 174) and an end section (176). A channel portion (170) of the air bag (50) extends into the body portion (160) and has a terminal outlet (202) disposed between an inflation fluid inlet (200) and an outer end portion (190) of the body portion. The side sections (172, 174) are folded under the channel portion (170) and the air bag (50) is thereafter rolled into a compact shape when deflated. The channel portion (170) unrolls and inflates before the body portion (160) inflates.
