Abstract
A curtain airbag for a vehicle is configured to prevent a driver's neck from being broken by preventing a driver's head from being excessively rotated upon a crash of the vehicle in a state in which the driver's head contacts an airbag tube. The curtain airbag is also configured to prevent the driver's head from slipping through or between the curtain airbag and a driver airbag by removing a gap between the curtain airbag and the driver airbag when the driver's head moves forward during a crash of the vehicle.
