Abstract
A supplemental restraint system including an air bag for use in a vehicle to restrain an occupant during a sudden deceleration or collision. The air bag is folded in a hexagon configuration and mounted on a generally circular base unit such that the shape of the air bag, as folded, generally complements the shape of the base unit, thereby facilitating reducing unused space.
