Abstract
The invention relates to an energy absorption body with essentially in axial direction oriented side elements, whereby the side elements are convex, and with at least one energy absorption element, whereby the energy absorption element is located between the side elements, and whereby the energy absorption element is formed for absorption of a tensile force (F′) which can be applied by the side elements on the energy absorption element, and for deformation upon a compressive force (F″) applied in radial direction on one of the side elements.
