Zusammenfassung:In an impact energy absorbing structure for an upper part of a body of a motor vehicle having a structural member that extends in a longitudinal direction and an inner trim member that is disposed toward an interior of a cabin and spaced apart from the structural member by a certain distance, an energy absorber is disposed within the distance. The energy absorber has two hollow tubular body portions whose axes extend in the longitudinal direction and a coupling portion for coupling the tubular body portions to each other. The two tubular body portions are formed integrally with the coupling portion, and the energy absorber is fixed to the structural member by the coupling portion.
