Abstract

A vent for an airbag is formed by at least two intersecting cuts disposed in the airbag material. Each cut terminates at opposite ends with a rounded end portion for stress release. The cuts are preferably placed in the cushion so as to be at 45 degree angles from the warp and weave threads of a woven cushion material.
