Abstract
A vehicle restraint system having an inflator for providing inflation gas and an airbag. The airbag having excursion restrictors made of localized adhesive deposited between and joining a front and a rear member of the airbag. The excursion restrictors retain portions of the front and rear members in proximity to one another until a predetermined threshold pressure is obtained. Thereafter, the adhesive of the excursion restrictor fails in a controlled fashion and the airbag is allowed to fully inflate.
