Abstract

A device for absorbing kinetic energy of a vehicle or any other moving body includes at least one bundle of straps formed by at least one strap having at least one first strand and at least one second strand secured by a connection means capable of being progressively destroyed by a tensile force intended to be applied on the first strand of the strap. The device also includes at least one anchoring means suitable for connecting the kinetic energy absorption device to a structure on which is intended to be installed. The anchoring means is arranged downstream of the bundle of straps with respect to a deployment direction of the strap under the tensile force intended to be applied on the first strand of the strap.
