An apparatus (10) helps to protect an occupant (28) of a vehicle (12) that has a side structure (16) and a roof (18). The apparatus (10) includes an inflatable vehicle occupant protection device (14) that has a stored condition for being positioned along the vehicle roof (18). The protection device (14) is inflatable away from the vehicle roof (18) to a deployed condition positioned between the side structure (16) and a vehicle occupant (28). The protection device (14) includes an upper edge portion (30) for being connected to the vehicle along the vehicle roof (18). A lower edge portion (38) of the protection device (14) is folded over onto itself at least once in the stored condition. The protection device (14), when in the stored condition, has a rolled-up configuration such that the folded over lower edge portion (38) occupies a central space (116) bounded by the rolled-up portion (114) of the protection device.
