  "textContent": "The invention is directed to a force-limiting energy absorber (11) comprising at least one elongated metal element (12,13) chosen out of a group consisting of a metal wire, a profiled metal wire, a metal strand, a bundle of untwisted metal wires and a metal rope. The element (12,13) is deformable in its plastic region so that energy is absorbed. Preferably, the energy absorber (11) comprises several metal elements (12,13) having different load-elongation diagrams and different elongation at fracture. The elements (12,13) may be embedded in a polymer matrix (14) chemically bonded to the elements (12,13).",
