Abstract
Disclosed is an occupant ankle protection apparatus for a vehicle. When an airbag cushion deploys, side portions support the fronts of both ankles of an occupant and a center portion is inserted between the ankles and supports the inner sides of the ankles. Accordingly, the apparatus is capable of preventing injury to the ankles of the occupant and preventing a secondary injury by allowing an occupant to escape from the vehicle after a vehicle collision.
