An energy absorbing cabinet assembly (24) attached to a rear wall of the aircraft cabin bulkhead (10) and positioned directly in front of the airline passengers sitting in front-row seats. The cabinet assembly is achieved from a combination of a storage box unit with an airline-type foldable food table and is formed to a convex shape toward the face and chest of passengers sitting immediately behind. Both the cabinet support structure and the food table structure are made from energy absorbing materials and are capable of yielding and deforming under an impact from behind (with the table tray helping to spread the impact load and to dissipate the kinetic energy over a large area). Such a combination of two basic elements; a storage box and a food tray, provides not only two basic functions of storage space and eating place for passengers but also provides the additional and primary benefit of protecting the heads of front-row seat passengers during crash landing emergencies.
