Abstract
A shock absorbing structure for a motor vehicle including at least one main body which includes a top wall and two leg walls, wherein the distance between the leg walls in a direction in which they are opposed to each other gradually increases with an increase in a distance in a direction which is away from the top wall toward the distal portions, with an obtuse interior angle being formed at each of corners which are formed by the top wall and the respective two leg walls, the top wall and the leg walls are integrally formed of a synthetic resin material whose tensile elongation according to ASTM D638 is not less than 150%, an inner surface of each corner being provided by a concave curved surface having a radius of curvature of not less than 2.0 mm.
