A first airbag apparatus of the present invention has an airbag module, which
includes
an airbag and an inflator, and a displacement mechanism, which displaces the airbag
module. The displacement mechanism displaces the airbag module from an original
position to a predetermined position when a collision of the vehicle is predicted
and displaces the airbag module from the predetermined position to the original
position when the predicted collision is avoided. A second airbag apparatus of
the present invention has the airbag module and the displacement mechanism, which
displaces a support member. The support member displaces the airbag from the original
position to the predetermined position before the airbag is deployed. The deployed
airbag is supported between the support body that is displaced to the predetermined
position and an occupant.
