An airbag tether separation system includes an airbag tether separator having an explosive and a housing including a wall with at least one space formed in the wall. The tether separator is structured so that, when the explosive is activated, the explosive produces shockwaves causing separation of a portion of a tether extending between the explosive and the wall. At least a portion of the shockwaves also pass into the at least one space, from where they may pass through the space away from a separation region of the tether and to an exterior of the housing, or be reflected in a direction away from the separation region of the tether.
