Abstract
A starting apparatus is provided to start at least a two passenger protecting apparatus. In the starting apparatus, an auxiliary power supply has a capacitor supplied by a power source which is mounted to a vehicle, and is independently provided for each passenger protecting apparatus. Further, an acceleration switch serves to feed current from the auxiliary power supply to a squib for starting the passenger protecting apparatus when a vehicle acceleration exceeds a predetermined acceleration. The acceleration switch is provided for only one squib, and make and break of this switch is detected. If the switch is closed, switches corresponding to other squibs are turned ON so that current is fed to the squibs from each auxiliary power supply.
