Abstract

An energy-absorbing system includes a tube made of a continuous polymeric material.The tube has first and second tube sections connected by an intermediate tubesection. By this arrangement, upon the bumper system receiving a longitudinalimpact, the first and second tube sections telescopingly collapse with a predictableand consistent rolling collapse.
