An airbag assembly 10 includes a base 14, an airbag 16 with an extension 22 extending transverse to a panel 20 of the airbag, an external tether 28 extending from the extension to the external surface 26 of the panel, and an internal tether 30 extending from the base to the internal surface 24 of the panel. During a vehicle impact, the extension may prevent the head of an occupant from sliding across the panel and/or rotating. The extension could be disposed on an end of the panel, and could be formed of a material that is less permeable than the material of the panel. Preferably, the panel is sandwiched between the internal tether and the external tether, both of which may be connected to the panel. A restraint system is also detailed comprising the airbag assembly 10, and a reaction surface (34, Fig.1), wherein the airbag assembly is supported by the reaction surface.
