In a window air bag system in which an air bag ( 10 ) designed to be inflated into the shape of a curtain in a lateral region of a passenger compartment by being supplied with gas from an inflator ( 22 ) is stored in a folded state along a pillar portion ( 32 ) and a roof side rail ( 31 ). A hollow energy-absorbing member ( 51, 52 ) is disposed along a longitudinal direction of the p portion ( 32 ) and the roof side rail ( 31 ) in such a manner as to be contiguous to a position where the air bag ( 10 ) is stored state between the pillar portion ( 32 ) and pillar garnish ( 42 ) for covering the pillar portion ( 32 ) and between the roof side a side rail garnish ( 41 ) for covering the roof side rail ( 31 ). The direction of deployment of the air bag ( 10 ) can thus be st reducing the amount of the garnish ( 42, 41 ) protruding into the passenger compartment, spaciousness of the passenger compartment, good visibility, and considerable ease with which a passenger can get on and off the vehicle can be guaranteed.
