Abstract
An external airbag system for a vehicle is proved to be commercialized and which can absorb impact induced by a frontal collision of the vehicle and thus substantially protect passengers in the vehicle. The external airbag system may include a bumper cover, a cushion provided behind the bumper cover, and an inflator for generating a gas pressure to deploy the cushion, wherein the bumper cover moves in a forward direction by the deploying cushion.
