An apparatus for providing a shock absorbing capability to a strap system is disclosed. A first embodiment of the shock absorbing apparatus presented herein, designed for use with a single flat strap, is comprised of two components, a bracket and a compressible member constructed out of foam, rubber, or similar material. The bracket has two loops that the strap feeds through and a third loop that allows the compressible member to be attached to it. The compressible member and bracket are sized and configured so it can be coupled with the single strap in a manner that provides a shock absorbing capability to the strap system. When the strap is tensioned, it presses against the compressible member and compresses it, providing a shock absorbing effect. Multiple additional embodiments are presented that accommodate one or two straps and singular or multiple compressible members.
