An air bag retention system for securing a gas filling or inlet end of an inflatable air bag during deployment along a delivery chute extended toward a panel opening in a motor vehicle, includes an air bag having at least one pocket on an outside surface opening toward the panel. The delivery chute includes at least one retaining tab having a free end extending into the air bag pocket toward the inlet end for preventing the inlet end of the air bag from moving out of the chute during the rapid inflation thereof in response to generated gas flowing rapidly into the air bag.
