A curtain airbag KB arranged along an upper edge and a rear edge of the side window glass G3 is developed in the cabin while deforming the roof trim RT downwardly, and deforming a predetermined edge 26a on the outer side in the vehicle width direction of the rear pillar trim PT4 forward. The curtain airbag KB in a stored condition is changed in its deployment orientation direction between a part along the upper edge of the side window glass G3 to the predetermined edge 26a.
