Abstract
A vehicle occupant restraint apparatus is provided that can restrict the movement of the rear end side of an airbag to the outside of a vehicle.

Guide plates for guiding the extension of the airbag are provided on the roof side rail 3 above each pillar. An extended piece 1c of the airbag 1 is fastened to the rearmost guide plate 7, and thereby the movement of the inflated airbag 1 toward the outside of the vehicle is restricted.
