In order to provide an occupant protection device capable of inflating an airbag at a sufficiently early stage even with a low-output gas generator, and protecting the head of an occupant sufficiently, an instrument panel (16) is equipped with a thorax-protection airbag device (20), and a roof (18) is equipped with a head-protection airbag device (30). When a vehicle (10) comes into collision, respective gas generators (26, 36) of the airbag devices (20, 30) are activated to jet a gas, and the airbags (24, 34) are deployed forward of a thorax (P2) and a head (P1) to receive the thorax (P2) and the head (P1), respectively. Sitting-height sensing means (50a-c) are provided for sensing the sitting-height of the occupant so as to inflate the head-protection airbag device (30) and the thorax-protection airbag device (20) depending on the sensed sitting-height. <IMAGE> |
