An energy absorber 10 which is made by a new and novel process and which includes beads, such as beads 12, 14 , and 16 which are selectively coupled together and reside upon an elastomeric surface 90 . The beads, such as beads 12, 14 , and 16 are formed, in one non-limiting embodiment, from a ceramic material and provide enhanced energy absorption characteristics which allows the created energy absorber 10 to be selectively "programmed" to be operatively deployed in a wide range of environments.
