An energy absorbing bumper is designed to provide uniform decelerating forces, independent of ambient temperature. The bumper is fabricated of elastic material and has two cushion zones. The first cushion zone, which is rather easily deformable at temperatures about room temperature, predominates in absorbing impact energy at low temperatures. The second cushion zone, which is more difficult to deform, provides absorption of impact energy at higher temperatures when the elastic material from which the bumper is made is more pliable.
