Abstract
A bumper assembly is effective to prevent stepped walls of a concave portion of a bumper cover from being sharply deformed. Cavities are formed at parts of an energy absorber facing to a bottom wall of the concave portion of the bumper cover to define spaces behind the bottom wall. The stepped walls are moved in the cavities of the energy absorber when the energy absorber is deformed elastically in collision.
