Systems for providing for an external vehicle airbag to mitigate the negative effects of vehicle rollover are described. In an exemplary implementation, one or more airbags are disposed inside the roof rails attached to a vehicle roof. In the event of a vehicle rollover, the airbags will deploy and extend downward along the sides of the vehicle. The airbags may be held in desirable deployed position by one or more elastic tethers.
