A shock absorbing component used as a structural component which realizes a larger energy absorption volume compared to the conventional shock absorbing component is provided. According to the present invention, with regards to the shock absorbing component, a sheet-shaped longitudinal component is formed by placing two or more types of sheet-shaped part materials alternately in the longitudinal direction, and this sheet-shaped longitudinal component is implemented in all of the layers or a part of the layers in the surface component of the shock absorbing component. Therefore, when load due to impact if applied to this shock absorbing component, unlike cases wherein the surface component is formed from a single component, the direction of the load and strain is intricately dispersed by two or more types of sheet-shaped longitudinal components and the concentration of load and deformation is prevented, thereby replacing impact energy with energy which destroys a wide area of the shock absorbing component.
