A side-curtain airbag for motor vehicles has cushion that, when inflated, is positioned in spaced alignment with a side window. At least one spacer is located at a distal end of the cushion and is in fluid communication therewith. The spacer contacts a portion of the vehicle structure adjacent to the window and positions the cushion in the desired spaced relationship with the side window. The disclosed airbag provides greater resistance to impact and thereby reduces the distance of travel of the head of a motor vehicle occupant beyond the side window glass during a side impact collision.
