Zusammenfassung:	In order to stop a motor-cyclist leaving the motor-cycle on head on collision a pelvic restraint 14 is provided at the front of the seat 12, and to reduce the deceleration experienced by the rider, the seat is arranged to slide forward on a guide 16 over the tank 18 and the deceleration is controlled by an energy absorber attached between the slideable seat and the motorcycle frame. To reduce the possibility of impact with the motor-cycle structure, the motion of the seat may initiate the inflation of an airbag on the pelvic restraint. Also described is an energy absorbing system for use in a car in which the seat may slide along a guide, subject to energy absorbing means, to absorb impact forces (Fig. 5 not shown). The invention may be extended to sliding platforms for goods.
