Abstract:
1. A module for absorbing energy from an impact to which the module has been subjected, via deformation, comprising a core made of a polymer foam with a density of at most 0.2 g/cm 3 and with a compressive modulus of elasticity of at most 200 MPa measured to DIN EN 826, wherein the core comprises an insert made of a polymer material and is formed of cylinder segments respectively oriented in opposite direction, wherein respectively two cylinder segments intersect or where respectively short sections of the cylinder segments are provided, respectively arranged in opposite orientation alongside one other in the polymer foam of the core, where the density of the polymer material of the insert is at most 2.0 g/cm 3 and its tensile modulus of elasticity is at least 700 MPa, measured to DIN EN ISO 527.
