A side airbag system has a side airbag unit, a posture detector, a weight detector, and a deployment controller. The side airbag unit includes an airbag to be deployed with respect to the sideward direction of the occupant sitting on a vehicle seat. The posture detector determines the posture of the occupant. The weight detector measures the weight of the occupant. The deployment controller controls the deployment of the airbag based on the posture checked by the posture detector and weight measured by the weight detector of the occupant.
