A buffer device for use with a shock absorption system comprising a carriage supported on a chassis is disclosed. The buffer device comprises first and second members for coupling to the carriage and chassis respectively such that relative motion of the carriage and chassis causes the first and second members to move relative to one another along a deflection axis, wherein the first and second members are coupled together by one or more resiliently flexible members such that their relative motion along the deflection axis results in a shear stress in the or each resiliently flexible member. |
