Zusammenfassung:An impact-attenuating device includes a first energy-absorbing part having at least one first elongate body and at least one corresponding first energy converter to deform the first elongate body in the case of relative movement. A second energy-absorbing part has at least one second elongate body and at least one corresponding second energy converter configured to deform the second elongate body in the case of relative movement. A bumper is coupled to the first energy-absorbing part. The first and second energy-absorbing parts are positionable one behind the other. The first and second energy-absorbing part are mutually coupled such that the at least first and second elongate bodies are deformed at least partially simultaneously by respectively the at least one corresponding first energy converter and the at least one corresponding second energy converter when a vehicle crashes into the bumper.
