It is an object of the present invention to make it possible to effectively absorb a high load generated in the event of a vehicle collision in a simplified structure. A shock-absorbing member may include a cylindrical member (20) configured to receive an impact load applied axially and capable of being axially compressed by the impact load, a wood member (12) received within the cylindrical member (20) without contacting each other and having an impact load-resistance strength greater than the cylindrical member (20), and a foam material (30) capable of positioning the wood member (12) with respect to the cylindrical member (20) and filled in a clearance formed between an outer surface of the wood member (12) and an inner wall surface of the cylindrical member (20) partially or over the entirety thereof by foaming. The foamed foam material (30) has a strength that does not prevent the cylindrical member (20) from radially inwardly deforming when the cylindrical member (20) is axially compressed with the wood member (12) by the impact load. |
