Abstract

An airbag restraint system for protecting a vehicle passenger in the event of a vehicle serious collision. The airbag is comprised of suspension belts and a pair of belt catch members for preventing the airbag from inflating to project generally in one direction or toward the vehicle passenger during inflation of the airbag. The belt catch members are disposed near the portion of the gas inlet and sewed to the end portions of the suspension belts. The belt catch member has tongue-like members which are overlapped with the end portion of the suspension belt in order to easily distinguish whether the suspension belt are properly put between the belt catch members or not.
