A safety post (10) is described to safeguard objects from impact by moving objects, the post having a double tilting action comprising a first elastic impact-absorbing tilting action to reduce damage to both post and object, followed by a second rigid action to arrest the moving object. An anchor plate (2) for anchoring the post to a foundation surface is provided, the anchor plate (2) having two major surfaces, the first major surface being provided for being placed in contact with the foundation surface at which time the second major surface is remote from the foundation surface. The post includes a tiltable rigid housing (4) which extends from a position abutting or adjacent to the second major surface of the anchor plate as well as a an energy absorbing mechanism located entirely within the outer envelope of the housing (4), the energy absorbing mechanism comprising one or more resilient elements which are deformed when the post is tilted by the impact of the moving object. <IMAGE> |
