A shock isolator having a housing securable to a support structure with the housing containing a bell shaped elastomer having a base secured to the housing and an axially offset apex surface secured to a connector to cantileverly support equipment to be isolated from shock with the cantileverly support of apex surface from the base insuring that any displacement of the connector produces a substantial shearing action in the elastomer to effectively damp the effect of a shock on the shock isolator.
