A vehicle airbag system includes an airbag having a stiffened portion and an inflatable portion connected to the stiffened portion. A pocket is formed in the stiffened portion between first and second sewn seams. The pocket has a closed end wall defining a first end of the pocket and a pocket entrance defining a second end of the pocket. An elongated spline is disposed in the pocket through the pocket entrance, the spline when fully received in the pocket resisting torsional motion of the vehicle airbag system in an inflatable portion non-deployed condition.
