A knee protector for use in automotive vehicles has a knee protector body located beneath an instrument panel and extending in the lateral direction of the vehicle opposite the knees of a passenger. Support members are connected between the knee protector body and a rigid portion of the vehicle body. Each support member includes a folding portion which folds upon collision impact. Each support member also includes a cushion member bridging the folding portion of the support member. The cushion member is formed of a material which can absorb collision energy. The folding portion absorbs collision impact by stable deformation.
