The present invention provides an air bag apparatus in which an inflator is set to be extended in a predetermined use position with no need to make the inflator large. A bag body of the air bag apparatus in a retracted state is disposed along a curved portion of the vehicle, a long strap is disposed within the bag body, and one end portion of the bag body and one end portion of the strap are fixed to the vehicle. In this structure, the other end of the strap is drawn by the activation of an inflator module so as to extend along the curved portion of the vehicle, and, further, gas is injected into the internal space of the bag body which is limited in motion by the strap so as to inflate and expand.
