Abstract
An inflatable knee airbag can have a plurality of inflatable chambers. The inflatable chambers can be formed as independent chambers, rather than a single chamber being divided by an internal tether. The inflatable chambers can be arranged in a serial configuration, wherein the chambers form an 'L' shape so that when the airbag is deployed, it conforms to the shape of an instrument panel.
