Abstract

A structure reduces impact force incurred when a structural body located forward of the vehicle interior comes toward the vehicle interior. The structure includes a pressing mechanism arranged forward of the vehicle interior. The pressing mechanism applies a pressure downwardly to the structure in order to restrict the structure from entering into the vehicle interior. The structure further includes a drive member to drive the pressing mechanism in the case of emergency.
