SINGLE-SIDED CRASH CUSHION SYSTEM

摘要

A single sided crash attenuation cushion system (14) having an impact head a nd a three stage energy absorption mechanism. Each stage of the energy absorpti on mechanism provides an increasing level of kinetic energy dissipation as the cushion system collapses. The third stage of the absorption mechanism includ es an additional deformable compressible tube between the fixed-object hazard a nd the thin walled tubes.
