An airbag 10 includes folds 12 with each fold having an apex 14 and limbs 16. The limbs extend from the apex to the limbs of an adjacent fold. A fastener 18 is fixed to the folds and releasably connects the folds to each other. There is also included a method of inflating an airbag with folds and a fastener connecting the folds. The next step is to inflate the airbag away from a door across the vehicle, and then inflating the airbag to a greater pressure to break the fastener and expand the airbag in a rearward direction.
