AIRBAG APPARATUS

An airbag apparatus to be applied to a vehicle includes an airbag configured to be deployed forward of a vehicle body front of the vehicle, a collision determiner configured to establish a pre-crash determination in a case where a collision probability with a human body or an object other than a human body is equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold, and an airbag deployment controller configured to deploy the airbag in response to the pre-crash determination. The airbag includes a slit portion formed by recessing a front surface rearward of the vehicle, and branches divided by the slit portion. The airbag apparatus further includes a coupling member configured to couple the branches to each other, and a coupling member disabling unit configured to break coupling of the branches by the coupling member in a case where a collision with the human body is predicted.
