The energy absorbing member can include a base and a biased member extending from and biased relative to the base. The base may be configured for coupling to a vehicle such that the biased member is disposed between a trim panel and a frame of the vehicle. The biased member may be configured to dissipate energy from an impact proximate the energy absorbing member.
