<p>Impact testing apparatus comprises a support member (34) which comprises a sacrificial energy absorber (14) housed under a metal shell (12). The support member (34) is configured to have impact characteristics which mimic those of a predetermined vehicle part (e.g. car roof). A vehicle component (16) which is entented to be used with the predetermined vehicle part is placed on the support member (34) and impact tested with impactor (18). The arrangement simulates impact testing of the vehicle component in situ with the predetermined vehicle part.</p> |
