<p>An energy absorbing module (10) including a plurality of cells (12, 112) with each cell (12, 112) including a first step wall (22 and 122) horizontally interconnecting first (16, 116) and second (18, 118) walls and having a greater thickness than the second wall (18, 118) for assuring collapse of the second wall (18, 118) before collapse the first wall (16, 166) in response to a force applied to the second wall (18, 118). Likewise, a second step wall (24 and 124) horizontally interconnects the second wall (18, 118) and a third wall (20, 120) and has a greater thickness than the first step wall (22 and 122) for assuring collapse of the third wall (20, 120) before collapse of the second wall (18, 118) in response to a force applied to the third wall (20, 120).</p> |
