Abstract
Arrangements and methods for attaching an airbag cushion wherein the airbag cushion "floats" or is movable relative to an airbag module element extending through an opening in the cushion with a first end of the module element disposed within the cushion inflatable body and a second end of the module element extending out of the cushion inflatable body. Upon deployment of the corresponding airbag cushion, such floating or movable attachment can help avoid stress concentrations and complications associated therewith.
