A pedestrian bar arrangement

摘要

A pedestrian bar arrangement (2) secured to a motor vehicle (1) such that a bar assembly (4) is displaced from an upper configuration to a lower configuration. Thus, the vehicle (1) maintains sufficient approach angle to avoid ground fouling in off-road driving. However, in the lower configuration, the bar arrangement (2) presents a lower contact to a pedestrian during a collision. Displacement between the upper configuration and the lower configuration may either be gravitational or propulsive under mechanical slide displacement means.
