An airbag for protecting a pedestrian or the like and an airbag device for protecting a pedestrian or the like including the airbag are disclosed. The airbag is quickly deployed to a predetermined deployment area without the use of a high output inflator and has a high absorption property of impact which is applied to the pedestrian or the like. In one form, an airbag for protecting a pedestrian or the like comprises a lower side portion provided so as to extend along a cowl top, left and right side portions and provided so as to extend along left and right A pillars, respectively, and an upper side portion connecting top portions of the left and right side portions. A horizontally central portion of the upper side portion is connected to the left and right side portions by small flow path cross-sectional portions. When the airbag is inflated, introduction of gas to the upper side portion from the left side portion and the right side portion is restricted, so that the internal pressures of the lower side portion, the left side portion, and the right side portion become high early. Thereafter, the gas gradually flows to the upper side portion, so that the internal pressure of the entire airbag is relatively low.
