1. A device for absorbing kinetic energy of a moving body, comprising:
a conditioning chamber, wherein the conditioning chamber is rigid;
at least one bundle of straps arranged in the conditioning chamber in a stowed position and deployable from the conditioning chamber in a deployment direction, the at least one bundle of straps formed by a first strap and a second strap, each first and second straps comprising a first strand and a second strand, the first strand secured to the second stand by a connection capable of being progressively destroyed by a tensile force applied on the at least one first strand of the first and second straps, respectively; and
a first anchor point and a second anchor point configured to be secured to a structure and to connect to an end of the first strand of the first strap and an end of the first strand of the second strap, respectively, the first anchor point and the second anchor point arranged downstream of the at least one bundle of straps with respect to the deployment direction of the first strap and the second strap under the tensile force so that the conditioning chamber is not stressed or remains unmoved during deployment of the first strap and the second strap.
