Abstract
An automobile front pillar ( ) includes, at a portion thereof positioned closely to a passenger compartment ( ) of an automobile ( ), a weak portion ( ) for initiating the buckling of the front pillar upon application of a shock to that part of the front pillar positioned remotely from the compartment. When an obstacle collides with the front pillar portion positioned remotely from the compartment, the weak portion collapses by the resulting collision shock to cause the front pillar to buckle. The collision shock is partly absorbed by the buckling front pillar, whereby the shock applied to the obstacle is significantly damped.
