An apparatus for protecting a vehicle occupant includes an impact-predicting means for predicting an impact of a vehicle, a seat operating means for operating, based on an output from the impact-predicting means, a predetermined operating mechanism so as to control each portion of a seat to a predetermined target position, a controlling means for controlling operation of the seat operating means. A speed for operating the seat by the seat operating means is selectively set at a first operating speed, which is employed at an emergency condition at which a vehicle impact is predicted, and at a second operating speed, which is employed at a normal condition at which a vehicle impact is not predicted, and is lower than the first operating speed.
