Abstract
A damping assembly comprises a connecting rod for connection to a moving part to be damped, a damper comprising a piston, a mechanical fuse coupling the connecting rod to the damper, the mechanical fuse configured such that when a force between the connecting rod and damper reaches a threshold value the connecting rod becomes uncoupled from the piston. The damping assembly further comprises a biasing member that biases the piston towards a central position such that the connecting rod may be re-coupled to the piston.
