Abstract
An air bag apparatus for a compact vehicle, having an air bag that is capable of restraining an operator on a seat from a front direction, in response to an expansion of the air bag, wherein it is possible to securely restrain the operator on the seat without a need for enlarging the expansion volume of the air bag, even if a yaw behavior and/or a rolling behavior of the vehicle body are/is large. The air bag and the vehicle to the rear of the seat are linked via a pair of restraining belts at the right and left, which are stored in the vehicle body, when the air bag is in a state of being folded, and which come into a state of tension, at the right and left exterior sides of the operator on the seat, when the air bag expands.
