The shock absorbing structure is designed for mounting on the bottom of each existing leg of the drilling rig and comprises a novel bottom member fixedly attached to each leg with the bottom member having a piston member positioned in the central portion thereof. The piston member is associated with at least one compression member formed around the piston member with the compression member being designed to absorb shock during a shock absorbing condition on the drilling rig leg. The compression member is fixedly attached to the bottom member by retaining means thereby making the structure self contained.
