Airbag deployment system for a vehicle having a passenger compartment
includes airbags arranged to substantially fill the passenger compartment
upon deployment, an inflator system for inflating the airbags and a crash
sensor system coupled to the inflator system for directing the inflator
system to inflate the airbag. Multiple housings may be arranged around
the passenger compartment, each including at least one airbag. Some of
the airbags may be interconnected to provide a primary airbag and at
least one secondary airbag extending from the primary airbag. The
inflator system may be an aspirated inflator system. The crash sensor
system may be an anticipatory sensor system. The airbags may be film
airbags. One-way valves may be arranged between adjacent airbags.
