A side airbag apparatus includes an airbag. The airbag accommodates an inner tube (gas guiding member), which includes gas outlets. The inner tube accommodates an inflator (gas generator), which generates gas based on impact applied from the side of the vehicle. In the side airbag apparatus, the folded airbag is inflated and deployed between a vehicle seat and a body side portion as gas generated by the inflator is discharged from the gas outlets of the inner tube. Furthermore, when the airbag is in a folded state, the inner tube is folded with at least one of the gas outlets closed.
