VEHICLE EXTERNAL AIRBAG DEVICE FOR VEHICLE

A vehicle external airbag device for a vehicle includes a vehicle external airbag which is deployable rearward of the vehicle from between a nose in the vehicle and a front glass of a cabin of the vehicle and over the front glass with a high-pressure gas of an inflator. The vehicle external airbag includes: a central bag deploying in a vehicle width direction; a right bag joined to a right side of the central bag and deploying to extend rearward of the central bag to overlap a front pillar on a right side of the front glass; and a left bag joined to a left side of the central bag and deploying to extend rearward of the central bag to overlap a front pillar on a left side of the front glass. The high-pressure gas is preferentially supplied to the central bag rather than the right and left bags.
