ABSTRACT:
A vehicle restraint system for side impact protection includes an inflatable air bag having first and second chambers separated by a panel having an aperture to permit inflation gas to flow from one chamber to the other. A safety flap is partially secured to the separator panel and has an aperture initially aligned with the aperture of the separator panel. The air bag detects the presence of an out of position seat occupant in which case the safety flap partially breaks away and moves the apertures out of alignment, thereby at least partially limiting the flow of inflation gas through the separator panel.
