A device, intended as a buffer element (1) for collision with pedestrians, comprising absorption elements tuned to each other in position and rigidity. The absorption elements are located, in a condition when fitted on a vehicle, at a lower position located under knee-height, at a middle position located at knee-height and at an upper position located above knee-height, respectively. The absorption elements comprise a shell (2) reaching from the lower position, while enclosing a deformation space (9), to at least the upper position. The shell (2) comprises fastening means for attachment to the vehicle. Upon collision with a pedestrian, the shell (2) forms an impact surface effecting over a relatively large surface, a uniform acceleration of the leg of the pedestrian. Preferably, the absorption elements comprise, upon collision, a relatively high initial rigidity and deform over a relatively long path while maintaining a relatively constant rigidity.
