ABSTRACT:
A shock absorbing pad, preferably for the interior of a vehicle, comprising a series of interconnected fluid reservoirs in the form of spheres partially filled with a fluid. Below a certain level of impact the shock is absorbed as the fluid is forced from one sphere into one or more of the other spheres. Above that level the spheres rupture, thereby absorbing the shock.
