Abstract: An energy absorbing element comprises: stiff members, wherein adjacent stiff members are connected by opposing hinges; and a central member connecting a first pair of the opposing hinges along a longitudinal direction; wherein the stiff members have a greater tensile strength than the central member; and wherein the central member is adapted to elastically extend along the longitudinal direction when an impact normal to the central member is applied to the energy absorbing element.
