A crash cushion (20) having a plurality of beams (30) extending substantiall y parallel to one another. One end (131) of the crash cushion may be slidably coupled with one end of a traffic barrier (130). Another end (22)of the cras h cushion faces oncoming traffic. A plurality of support posts (72-77)are coupled to and support the plurality of beams. Forceful impact of a vehicle with the end of the crash cushion facing oncoming traffic results in energy absorption during telescoping of the beams relative to the traffic barrier. A method of manufacturing crash cushions and other energy absorbing devices is provided.
