ABSTRACT:
An impact absorption member comprises a sheet of crushable material having curvilinear projections having a width, height, length and spacing selected for different impact absorption characteristics. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the projections are sinusoidal. In a preferred embodiment also, the material comprises a mixture of recycled, reground thermo-formable material and reprocessed fibrous bats including polyester fibers, glass fibers and a thermo-setting resin. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the member constitutes an elongated arch-shaped base having integrally superimposed thereon the curvilinear projections.
