Abstract
A gas bag apparatus for a vehicle is arranged such that, when an emergency situation of the vehicle occurs, a gas bag body is inflated to absorb the impact applied to the body of an occupant of the vehicle. A soft skin is secured at the peripheral portion thereof to the outer side of the gas body in such a manner that the central portion of the soft skin is movable relative to the outer side of the gas bag body. Accordingly, the occupant's body is prevented from directly rubbing against the outer side of the gas bag body when an emergency situation of the vehicle occurs.
