Abstract
A vehicle interior includes a roof, a seat including a seatback, and an airbag supported by the roof. The airbag is inflatable away from the roof to an inflated position surrounding the seatback. During an impact of the vehicle, the airbag may be inflated from an uninflated position to the inflated position to absorb energy from an occupant of the vehicle.
