A system for absorbing impact energy includes a container formed with a
plurality of faces. An energy absorbing material is substantially
contained within the container. A first elongated member has a proximate
end and a distal end. The proximate end is proximate and approximately
perpendicular to a first face of the container. A long axis of the first
elongated member intersects the first face. A first bumper is connected
to the distal end of the first elongated member. A second elongated
member has a proximate end and a distal end. The proximate end is
proximate and approximately perpendicular to a second face of the
container. A long axis of the second elongated member intersects the
second face. The second elongated member is approximately perpendicular
to the first elongated member. A second bumper connected to the distal
end of the second elongated member.
