Claim 0:
1. A system for a vehicle having a vehicle chassis, the system comprising:
a seat having a backrest and a sitting surface coupled to the backrest; and
at least one damping member configured to connect the seat to a portion of the vehicle chassis and extending from the sitting surface of the seat and positioned between the seat and the portion of the vehicle chassis for damping the seat, the at least one damping member defined by an outer periphery having a heart shape or a cloverleaf shape,
wherein the heart-shaped outer periphery is defined by a vertex, two opposing rounded corners, a first convex side extending between the vertex and one of the rounded corners, a second convex side extending between the vertex and the other rounded corner, and a concave side extending between the two opposing rounded corners, wherein an acute angle is formed between the first convex side, the second convex side, and the vertex,
wherein the cloverleaf-shaped outer periphery is defined by four rounded corners and a concave side extending between each adjacent pair of the four rounded corners,
wherein the at least one damping member is configured to deform in the event of an action of force on the damping member, and
wherein the at least one damping member is configured to provide shock absorption.
