Side curtain airbag assembly

An airbag attachment associated with a non-inflatable portion on a side curtain airbag provides loops that are sewn or otherwise attached to the non-inflatable portion of the airbag. The loops directly encircle a gas supply tube and are provided on the non-inflatable portion such that the non-inflatable portion of the airbag can be slipped over the gas supply tube and suspended similar to a shower curtain on a curtain rod. The use of mounting tabs in the region of the non-inflatable portions is eliminated. Additional attachment ties with frangible seams can be used to attach the airbag to the gas supply tube in the location of the non-inflatable portion near the loop such that the airbag can be properly folded and bundled for compact placement within the vehicle body. The loops can be passed through openings in non-inflatable portions of the airbag, each loop directly encircling the gas supply tube. The loops can be provided with an attachment hole to enable the loops to be fastened to the vehicle body similar to a mounting tab. Upon deployment the side curtain airbag will remain suspended from the loops.
