1. An airbag tether release mechanism, comprising:

  • a housing;

    an initiator positioned within the housing, wherein the initiator comprises an output cup having a redrawn end that unrolls and expands during deployment, and wherein the initiator is configured such that it provides an inherent seal to prevent the external release of pyrotechnic residues upon deployment;

    a cutter operatively connected with the initiator such that deployment of the initiator actuates the cutter; and

    a tether restraint structure configured to secure a tether until the tether is released by actuation of the cutter.
