Abstract
A braking system is provided for mitigating the linear or rotational motion of an object having an axis, the linear or rotational motion being coaxial with the axis. In particular, the motion is the type which is the result of an impulse imposed over a short period of time, typically less than one second. The object whose linear or rotational motion is to be mitigated is disposed coaxially within a tube. The braking system includes at least one brake shoe positioned within an annular free space defined by the outer surface of the object and the inner surface of the tube. The at least one break shoe may be urged against the outer surface of the object or the inner surface of the tube to effect the mitigation.
