The airbag is deployed in a form of a curtain along the inner side surface of the vehicle cabin. The airbag has an upper edge, a non-inflatable peripheral portion surrounding the inflatable support portions, and a strap provided between the upper edge and the non-inflatable peripheral portion of the airbag. The strap regulates a direction of deployment upon inflation of the inflatable support portions.
