ABSTRACT:
A shock absorbing structure for a vehicle, including resin bodies spaced apart from each other, and at least one connecting body each connecting adjacent resin bodies. Each connecting body includes first and second connecting members which are made of a synthetic resin material having flexibility. Each of the connecting members connects the adjacent resin bodies such that each first connecting member and each second connecting member corresponding to each first connecting member are spaced apart from each other in a direction intersecting a direction in which the resin bodies are spaced apart from each other. At least one of the first connecting members and at least one of the second connecting members includes at least one curved/bent portion which is flexible in a plane perpendicular to a shock-receiving direction in which a shock is to be primarily applied to the resin bodies.
