Abstract
A seat impact energy absorbing system having an energy absorbing module that limits forces transmitted through the seat to its occupant. Such forces may emanate from, for example, a land mine detonation. The module has frustoconical structures joined by hollow interconnecting ribs that create support pillars there between. At least some of the support pillars have tops.
