Abstract
An installation for the energy absorption of motor vehicles, in which a deformation member has a wall structure delimiting a hollow space which cooperates with a pressure installation that acts upon the hollow space during an accident in dependence on a trigger mechanism and thereby deforms the wall structure in such a manner that the energy absorption efficacy of the deformation member is increased.
