description According to one embodiment of the invention, an energy-absorbing device (100, 200, 300, 400) includes a section of material having a plurality of crush zones along a longitudinal length thereof, a first crush zone of the plurality of crush zones including a pair of opposed first bends (104, 204, 304, 404) formed in a first side and a second side of the section, a pair of opposed second bends (108) formed in a third side and a fourth side of the section, and a first set of notches spaced around a perimeter of the section at a longitudinal location corresponding to the first bends and second bends. The first bends project in a direction that is one of inward and outward and the second bends project in a direction opposite that of the first bends. At least one of the other crush zones includes a second set of notches (112) spaced around the perimeter of the section. De acuerdo con una modalidad de la invencion, un dispositivo que absorbe energia incluya una seccion de material que tiene una pluralidad de zonas de aplastamiento a lo largo de una extension longitudinal del mismo, una primera zona de aplastamiento de la pluralidad de zonas de aplastamiento que incluye un par de primeros dobleces opuestos formados en un primer lado y un segundo lado de la seccion, un par de segundos dobleces opuestos formados en un tercer lado y un cuarto lado de la seccion y un primer conjunto de muescas espaciadas alrededor de un perimetro de la seccion en un sitio longitudinal correspondiente a los primeros dobleces y segundos dobleces. Los primeros dobleces se proyectan en una direccion que es una de hacia adentro y hacia afuera y los segundos dobleces se proyectan en una direccion opuesta a aquella de los primeros dobleces. Por lo menos una de las otras zonas de aplastamiento incluye un segundo conjunto de muescas espaciadas alrededor del perimetro de la seccion.
