Crash cushion, in particular for road applications and the laying method thereof

Abstract

A crash cushion (4) comprising anchoring means (8) for anchoring to the ground, configured so as to allow the crash cushion (4) to be fixed to the ground, said anchoring means (8) extending along a main vertical direction (Y-Y), a dissipating body (24), adapted to dissipate impacts against objects, and connection means (52) for connecting the dissipating body (24) to the anchoring means (8) for anchoring to the ground. The anchoring means (8) comprise a lower portion (12), adapted to be embedded below the ground, and an upper portion (16), arranged cantilevered with respect to the lower portion (12). Said connection means (52) of the dissipating body (24) are associated with the upper portion (16) of the anchoring means (8), so that the dissipating body (24), in the event of an impact, is selectively movable, parallel to said main vertical direction (Y-Y), in a direction away from the ground.
