Claim:
1. A rockfall, mudflow, and snow protection system having an energy dissipation device, comprising: a deformable, longitudinally extending material strip that is a profiled rod, has a longitudinal axis, and is configured to cooperate with a cable adapted for being tensioned; and a deformation device which cooperates with the material strip, wherein the material strip upon application of a tension force to the cable, via at least one of a rockfall, a mudflow, and a snow, along the longitudinal axis, can be guided in a straight line through the deformation device and in so doing can be deformed, further wherein the deformation device has two deformation elements in the form of rotatable rollers which can be positioned at a selectable spacing with respect to one another and in so doing define a deformation gap formed as a straight line, and further wherein the protection system includes a net coupled to at least one support of the protection system and is configured to cooperate with the cable.
