Claim 12:
13. A vehicle occupant protection system comprising:
an airtight, deformable container comprising a pressure sensor configured to generate a vehicle collision signal resulting from the airtight, deformable container deforming during a vehicle collision and thereby causing an increase in pressure in the airtight, deformable container;
an airbag configured to expand between a stowed state and a deployed state;
an inflator configured to provide a gas to the airbag, and
a deployment control system configured to:
(i) receive the vehicle collision signal from the pressure sensor, and
(ii) based upon the vehicle collision signal, cause the inflator to provide the gas to the airbag to thereby cause the airbag to expand from the stowed state to the deployed state.
