A storage device () having at least one front portion () and one rear portion () defining together a storage space (). The front portion () and the rear portion () are attached to each other by a separable attachment device (). The attachment device () is laid out so as to allow separation of said front portion () from the rear portion () under the effect of an external force greater than a predetermined threshold, so that the front portion () or the rear portion () is detached from the other portion and penetrates into the storage space () under the effect of said external force.
