    摘要: The invention relates to apparatus which absorbs G-force resulting from an explosion event near a vehicle in order to protect the occupant from potentially dangerous levels of G-force. The apparatus has first (12) and second mounting (14) attached to the occupant seat. An absorbtion mechanism (20) in the form of a mitigating strip (22) is provided between the mounting members and an anvil (28) is provided on such that when the vehicle, and hence the first mounting member, is subjected to the explosion induced G-force, the mitigating strip is bent and pulled over the anvil. This absorbs a portion of the G-force which would otherwise be imparted on the occupant hence minimising the risk of injury to the occupant. A method of protecting a vehicle occupant from explosion induced G-force is also provided.
