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 pillar 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 in a folded state between the pillar portion (32) and pillar garnish (42) for covering the pillar portion (32) and between the roof side rail (31) and a side rail garnish (41) for covering the roof side rail (31). The direction of deployment of the air bag (10) can thus be stabilized. By 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.
