Abstract
The present invention provides an energy absorption device for cushioning dynamic impacts imparted against a support bar of a vehicle by an occupant. The energy absorption device has an elongated arched impact shell having an impact side, and a member engagement side opposite the impact side. Also provided are a plurality of longitudinally spaced arched ribs that each has a first edge that is wholly attached to the member engagement side of the elongated arched impact shell and a second edge that is spaced from the first edge. The second edge abuts against the support bar of the vehicle. A plurality of impact can be stacked one upon another to increase energy absorption and decrease acceleration upon impact.
