A vehicle body is disclosed having a floor and a pair of upstanding support members spaced apart in the direction of travel of the vehicle. Bands of strapping material are extended longitudinally in the body and have their opposite ends secured to the upstanding support members at points spaced above the floor, so that intermediate portions of the bands rest on the floor and their end portions slope upwardly toward the support members. A unitized load is placed on the intermediate portions of the bands and is spaced from the support members by the sloping band end portions, whereby upon impact the load may ride up the strap members to absorb impact energy.
