Abstract

A vehicle body 10 equipped with an airbag system has a side curtain airbag 20 provided on a roof side rail 12. The side curtain airbag 20 includes: a bag body 51 that is disposed along the roof side rail 12; a central protector 59 that holds the bag body 51; and an inflator 52 that is configured to feed gas to the bag body 51. The central protector 59 has a contact end part 65 that is opposed to a reinforcement member 48 with a gap L2 left therebetween. The contact end part 65 is moved toward the reinforcement member 48 by a deployment force of the bag body 51, and the contact end part 65 is thus supported by the reinforcement member 48.
