ABSTRACT:
A bio-mechanical impact protection is provided in a depressed steering wheel wherein a shock absorbing element is tiltably mounted on the steering wheel hub for tilting into frontal disposition if the steering wheel is bent down on impact. In the frontal disposition the element intercepts the horizontally accelerated and propelled driver in flat surface-to-surface contact, offering the full-thickness of the element for compression and impact energy dissipation.
