Abstract
An airbag module comprises an airbag inflatable through an opening and an airbag inflator in communication with the opening. A block selectively diverts inflation gas away from the airbag opening. The block may move from a first position and a second position, the first position permitting the inflation gas to flow to the opening and the second position deflecting the inflation gas away from the opening.
