Claim 18:
19. An overhead airbag cushion comprising:
a main chamber to receive inflation gas to expand from a packaged state above a vehicle seating position and deploy downward to be disposed forward of the vehicle seating position in a deployed state;
an elongate head chamber that extends from the main chamber toward the vehicle seating position at an angle, the elongate head chamber defining an upper surface configured to, in a collision event, receive a head of an occupant seated in the vehicle seating position,
wherein the elongate head chamber deflects vertically relative to the main chamber when the head of the occupant engages the elongate head chamber thereby changing the angle between the elongate head chamber and the main chamber; and
a vertical internal panel tether that couples to a vehicle facing portion of the main chamber and to an occupant facing portion of the main chamber, the vertical internal panel extending across an opening between the main chamber and the elongate head chamber, wherein the vertical internal panel tether is parallel to a plane defined by a front-rear axis of the vehicle seating position and a vertical axis.
