An energy absorption device for use in a vehicle interior includes a first body having a protrusion defining an axially extending outer serrated surface, and a second body having a cavity defining an axially extending inner serrated surface. The protrusion is at least partially inserted into the cavity to at least partially support the first body relative to the second body. Upon an impact at least partially in the axial direction, one of the protrusion and the cavity is moved relative to the other to absorb at least some of the impact energy. An energy absorption vehicle interior assembly includes an energy absorption device connected between an interior vehicle trim member and a vehicle trim mounting member.
