Abstract
An airbag apparatus to be mounted on a vehicle such as a motor vehicle includes an airbag and a gas supply device. The airbag is inflated to a rear side of a vehicle from a front side thereof in front of a vehicle passenger for protecting the passenger in case of a vehicle accident. The airbag includes a right airbag section extending vertically on a right side of the vehicle and a left airbag section extending vertically on a left side of the vehicle in the inflated state. The right or left airbag section located closer to a side portion of the vehicle has an upper edge lower than that of the left or right airbag section, so that the right or left airbag section does not interfere with the side portion.
