Abstract
A front pillar of a vehicle includes an inner panel and a garnish panel that covers the inner panel. An air bag is located between the inner panel and the garnish panel. A shock absorber is located adjacent to the air bag and is located between the inner panel and the garnish panel. The shock absorber is fixed to the pillar frame and is separated from the garnish panel. When a primary collision of the vehicle occurs, a secondary collision between a passenger and the front pillar is prevented by the air bag. Even if the passenger directly hits the front pillar, the shock absorber reduces shock accompanying the secondary collision.
