To prevent an air bag from being operated by mere inclination when the
vehicle body does not fall down, that is, at the time of handling during
a banking operation or the like. An air bag and a removal detecting part
for detecting a rider removal from a vehicle body are incorporated in a
rider jacket. An inclination sensor for detecting an inclination of the
vehicle body of a motorcycle is provided. An angle acceleration
calculating part for calculating the inclination angle acceleration of
the vehicle body calculates the inclination angle acceleration based on a
plurality of detected inclination angles. When the state of the vehicle
body falls within the air bag operable range, an air bag deploying
instruction is outputted. The air bag deploying instruction is supplied
to the air bag when the rider removal from the vehicle body is not
detected by the removal detecting part.
