ABSTRACT:
A vehicular airbag device is disclosed as having a mounting bracket supported on a steering member via a fixing portion and extending upward, and an airbag module mounted on the mounting bracket at an upper area thereof. The mounting bracket has connecting portions, provided with front and rear slits, whereby when the airbag module encounters a load directed downward, the connecting portions are subjected to plastic deformation to rotate in a vehicle width direction to absorb energy of the resulting load.
