A vehicle interior 10 includes a floor 12, an airbag 14 supported by the floor 12 and being inflatable away from the floor 12 to an inflated position. The airbag 14 includes an outer panel 16, an inner panel 18, and an inflation chamber 20 defined between the inner panel 18 and the outer panel 16. In the inflated position, the outer panel 16 and the inner panel 18 extend along a curved path about an axis (A, Fig. 6) transverse to the floor 12. During a vehicle impact, the airbag 14 may be inflated to the inflated position to absorb energy from an occupant 24 of the vehicle 26. Another form of the invention includes a vehicle interior 10 comprising a base (38, Fig. 3), a seat 28, an inflator (40, Fig. 3) and actuator 82. The seat 28 and the airbag 14 are supported by the base 38. The inflator (40, Fig. 3) is in fluid connection with the airbag 14 and the actuator (82, Fig. 3) supported by the base (38, Fig. 3) and connected to the airbag 14.
