ABSTRACT:
An air bag (10) includes a torso portion (120) for protecting the torso (180) of a vehicle occupant (16) and a head portion (130) for protecting the head (182) of the vehicle occupant from contact with the windshield (186) of the vehicle (14) due to relative movement of the head and the vehicle part in a first direction (188). The head portion (130) of the air bag (10) includes first and second fabric material panel portions (148, 150) which are sewn together at at least three predetermined locations (140) spaced apart across the width of the head portion. The first and second fabric material panel portions (148, 150) extend generally parallel to each other when inflated to provide the head portion (130) of the air bag (10) with a generally flat configuration. The head portion (130) of the air bag (10) is relatively thin as measured in the first direction (188) to minimize the amount of inflation fluid needed for inflation of the air bag.
