Disclosed embodiments include apparatuses, systems, and methods for supportably deploying an occupant restraint airbag. In an illustrative embodiment, an apparatus includes an occupant restraint airbag configured to be deployable between an occupant of a vehicle and a forward structure of a vehicle interior. The occupant restraint airbag presents an occupant surface to engage at least a portion of a body of the occupant and a back surface on an opposing side of the occupant restraint airbag responsive to inflation thereof. A reaction surface airbag is deployable between the occupant restraint airbag and an interior surface of the vehicle. The reaction surface airbag presents a first surface configured to engage the back surface of the occupant restraint airbag and a second surface to engage the interior surface responsive to inflation of the reaction surface airbag. The reaction surface airbag resists movement of the occupant restraint airbag toward the interior surface.
