A vehicle includes a frame and a rocker panel disposed adjacent the frame and separated therefrom by a gap. The vehicle further includes a structural restraint system that includes a deployable metal bag mounted on the frame facing the rocker panel and an inflator. The structural restrain system further includes a controller configured to, responsive to sensor inputs indicative of an impact on the rocker panel, energize the inflator to inflate the deployable metal bag to fill the gap and transfer force acting on the rocker panel to the frame.
