Abstract
A vehicle bumper structure includes a cushioning member provided at a rear surface of a rear bumper beam. The cushioning member has upper and lower hollow protrusions of different protrusion lengths extending transversely of the vehicle along the rear surface of the rear bumper beam. The upper hollow protrusion, having a protruding length longer than the protruding length of the lower hollow protrusion, includes a protrusion top with a pair of right and left slit-shaped openings provided on right and left sides of a central portion for allowing easy buckling of the upper protrusion.
