Abstract
The present invention relates to an absorption element for absorbing kinetic energy, in particular that of vehicles, such as for example motor vehicles. The absorption element is particularly suitable as part of an absorption system of vehicle bumpers which absorb energy released during a collision, in order to prevent structural deformations of the bumper or vehicle. The absorption element can also be used as part of a seat structure or other passive safety elements.
