ABSTRACT:
A vehicle bumper is disclosed that includes a first vehicle mounting member, a second vehicle mounting member and an elongated energy absorbing structure. The first and second vehicle mounting members are configured to be attached to a vehicle at horizontally spaced apart locations and to support the vehicle bumper. The elongated energy absorbing structure is movably attached to both of the vehicle mounting members to linearly deform and torsionally deform with respect to the mounting members in response to a vehicular impact. The vehicle bumper absorbs energy linearly and torsionally in response to vehicular impact.
