<p>An impact absorption mechanism mounted to a vehicle is provided with a column-shaped impact absorption section (20), the impact absorption section (20) having a tube-shaped member (23) and wood (12) which is housed within the tube-shaped member (23), the direction of the fibers of the wood (12) being aligned with the axial direction. The impact absorption section (20) is disposed between a load receiving member (3), which receives an impact load, and a framework member (5) of the vehicle. When an impact load is applied to the impact absorption section (20) from the load receiving member (3), the impact absorption section (20) can absorb the impact load because at least the wood (12) is crushed in the axial direction. The impact absorption mechanism is in a state in which one end of the impact absorption section (20) in the axial direction is joined to the framework member (5) or the load receiving member (3) by a joining means, and in which the other end is joined to neither of the framework member and the load receiving member (3) when an impact load is applied.</p> |
