Abstract: A hood and bumper assembly of a vehicle includes a hood assembly, and a hinge about which the hood assembly rotates between an open position and a closed position. A bumper bracket is secured to a fixed support of the vehicle, and a bumper is located between the bumper bracket and the hood assembly to absorb an impact force of the hood assembly. The bumper bracket is configured to release from the fixed support when the impact force exceeds a preselected threshold to dissipate the impact force.
