A low-volume airbag can deploy from a seat back to cushion an occupant disposed rearward of the seat during a collision event. The low-volume airbag can deploy from the seat at a position that is level with or lower than the position of the occupant's knees. When deployed, the low-volume airbag may adopt a curved or bent configuration. The low-volume airbag can be shaped and positioned to receive the head and/or torso of the occupant during a collision event. Cushioning of the knees of an occupant during a collision event may also be provided.
