Abstract
An airbag apparatus includes an airbag to be deployed and inflated in a passenger protection area between a vehicle passenger and a vehicle side wall portion in case of vehicle accident. The airbag has a head chamber for protecting a head of a vehicle passenger and a chest chamber for protecting a chest portion of the passenger. A gas supply device is provided for simultaneously supplying gas to the head chamber and the chest chamber. A pressure adjusting device adjusts an internal pressure of the head chamber to a level higher than an internal pressure of the chest chamber at the time of deployment and inflation of the airbag.
