A seatbelt assembly 30 includes a webbing guide 32 defining a slot (34, Fig. 3), webbing 36 extending through the slot (34, Fig. 3), an airbag 38, and a clamp 40. The airbag 38 includes a fixed end 42 fixed relative to the webbing guide 32 and an inflatable end portion 44 inflatable away from the fixed end along the webbing 36. The clamp 40 is attached to the inflatable end portion 44 and is movable from an unlocked position disengaged with the webbing 36 to a locked position engaging the webbing 36. As the airbag 38 inflates, the clamp 40 travels along the shoulder band 62. Optionally when the airbag 38 is nearly fully inflated a cord (84, Fig. 6A/B) becomes taught and may pull a release (82, Fig. 6A/B) to move the clamp 40 from the unlocked to locked position. The locked clamp 40 would then prevent the airbag 38 from retracting.
