IMPACT MITIGATION DEVICE AND VEHICLE

An impact mitigation device includes: an impact absorber configured to transition from a folded state in which the impact absorber is folded to an expanded state in which the impact absorber is expanded; a first magnetic body provided on one end side of the impact absorber; a second magnetic body provided on another end side of the impact absorber and at a position facing the first magnetic body in the folded state; and a control unit connected to one of the first magnetic body and the second magnetic body, the control unit being configured to control the one magnetic body to generate a repulsive force between the one magnetic body and the other magnetic body.
