Provided are an airbag deployment system of a vehicle and an airbag deployment method thereof. The airbag deployment system includes a rear-viewable seat rotatably installed in a front row of the vehicle; a seat state detection unit configured to measure a rear-facing state, a current slide amount, and a backrest angle of the rear-viewable seat; a multiple-airbag unit that includes a first airbag installed in a backrest of the rear-viewable seat and configured to deploy rearward, and a second airbag installed in a dashboard; and a controller configured to, when a vehicle collision event occurs in the rear-facing state of the rear-viewable seat, calculate a distance between the dashboard and the backrest by using the current slide amount and the backrest angle, and selectively deploy at least one airbag according to a preset multiple-airbag deployment condition for each range based on the calculated distance.

An apparatus for helping to protect an occupant of a seat in a vehicle having an instrument panel and a housing positioned therein includes an airbag for positioning in the housing and defining an inflatable volume for receiving inflation fluid from an inflator. The airbag includes an occupant-facing panel. A tether extends along a centerline and has a first end connected to a portion of the airbag positioned within the housing and a second end connected to the occupant-facing panel for forming a pocket therein. The second end includes a folded-over portion. Stitching extends through the folded-over portion in a direction extending transverse to the centerline.

[Problem] To provide an airbag apparatus in which the injury value of a passenger can be efficiently suppressed in an emergency. [Resolution Means] A typical configuration of an airbag apparatus 100 according to the present invention includes: an inflator 118 which is installed in a vehicle so as to be capable of supplying gas; an inner bag 112 which is expanded from in front of a seat utilizing the gas; and an outer bag 110 to which the gas is supplied from the inflator 118 or via the inner bag 112 and expanded so as to surround the inner bag 112. The outer bag 110 includes an opening 116 which exposes the inner bag 112 towards the seat 104, wherein the inner bag 112 has a more elongated shape in the anteroposterior direction of the vehicle than in the width direction of the vehicle, and the inner bag 112 further includes a restraining part 114 which is exposed on the recessed surface from the opening 116 to the seat side.
