A method of suitably controlling an airbag device or a pretensioner without imposing a burden on an airbag deployment control system and without complicating the wiring and logic for information interchange. A load discriminator receives an output from seat load cells and binarizes the output of the seat load cells, i.e. the weight of an occupant, with reference to two different threshold values corresponding to ON and OFF of the buckle switch, thereby obtaining two results. The weight discriminator sends the respective results to an airbag controller. The airbag controller receives the results and an ON/OFF signal from the buckle switch, employs the result according to the threshold value corresponding to the actual ON/OFF state of the buckle switch, and judges the kind (adult or child) of the occupant based on the employed result. Then, the airbag controller judges the actuation of the airbag based on this discrimination. When a collision occurs the airbag controller controls the deployment of the airbag based on the judgment for the actuation.
