Abstract
An occupant safety system for a vehicle door is disclosed. The vehicle door includes a series of pads that help to absorb the force of a side impact collision. The pads cooperate to help push an occupant away from the door during the collision. This can help reduce injuries sustained by the occupant by increasing the available energy absorbing stroke.
