Abstract
An occupant protection device includes an airbag to be deployed in front of a vehicle occupant and a gas generator for inflating the airbag. The airbag includes a thorax-protection airbag to be deployed in front of a thorax of the occupant and a head-protection airbag to be deployed in front of a head of the occupant. Since the occupant protection device includes the thorax-protection airbag and the head-protection airbag, the individual airbag has a small capacity and requires an inflator with an output lower than that in the conventional airbag device.
