Abstract

A system and a method of inflating an airbag (110) and a trajectory control tube (120) are disclosed. The system and the method include detecting application of a force towards at least one of a plurality of sensors (140), initiating an inflation system (100) to cause inflation of the airbag (110) and the trajectory control tube (120) responsive to the detecting, inflating the trajectory control tube (120) based on the initiating, inflating the airbag (110), and breaching the airbag and the trajectory control tube compartment (160). The system and the method include guiding the airbag deployment trajectory via the trajectory control tube (120). The system and the method include that the guiding occurs as the airbag (110) begins to inflate, as the airbag (110) inflates, after the airbag (110) has inflated or before the airbag (110) inflates.
