An apparatus for deceleration of a body may include a plurality of inflatable portions. The plurality of inflatable portions may be coupled together such that, when inflated, the plurality of inflatable portions defines a deceleration structure configured to decelerate the body. Each inflatable portion may include a first wall element, a second wall element opposite the first wall element, and a plurality of stitch members extending between and coupled to each of the first wall element and the second wall element.
