ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The present invention relates to an inflatable bolster apparatus attached to an aircraft bulkhead which inflates if a crash sensor detects a crash. The inflated bolster provides head strike protection for occupants seated in rows directly aft of bulkhead structures. The uninflated bolster is folded and stowed within a frame that is attached to the bulkhead structure. When a crash is detected, the crash sensor transmits an electrical signal which ignites the gas generator(s) and inflates the bolster. In a preferred embodiment, the bolster comprises one of more cells that can be customized for the number of occupants it protects. Each bolster cell contains an internal web structure with a series of holes that regulates gas circulation within the bolster, thus stabilizing the bolster apparatus.
