Disclosed is an airbag module comprising a polyester airbag and a gas inflator, where the gas inflator provides a gas temperature that does not exceed the critical gas temperature of the polyester airbag. This design allows for the substitution of polyester airbags for nylon airbags in side curtain airbag modules and other airbag deployment applications, where the gas inflator temperature does not exceed the critical gas temperature. Also disclosed is a method that will facilitate the matching of specific polyester fabrics with gas inflators to create an airbag module that will not suffer catastrophic failure.
