ABSTRACT:
An air bag module (80) mounted on a vehicle seatback (22) includes an air bag (90) which has a narrow elongate neck portion (130) and a wide body portion (140). The neck portion (130) and the body portion (140) when inflated lie adjacent to the head and neck of an occupant (52) of the seat (12). A lower portion (220) of the air bag (90) is folded and packed more tightly than an upper portion (222), so that the upper portion deploys more quickly to control the direction of inflation of the air bag. The air bag (90) deploys at an angle of 65.degree. upward from the horizontal and at an angle of 3.degree. outward of a front-to-back axis (36).
