Shock absorption device

A first shock absorption member between a frame forming a framework of a vehicle and an outer structure positioned outside of the frame in the vehicle, the first shock absorption member being installed in a manner that the outer structure is deformed preferentially over the frame in a shock-receiving situation in which the outer structure is displaced or deformed toward the frame side due to a shock load against the outer structure, a second shock absorption member between the frame and the outer structure, and a switching unit to switch an installation state of the second shock absorption member between a first installation state in which the second shock absorption member avoids the shock load in the shock-receiving situation and a second installation state in which the second shock absorption member receives the shock load and deforms together with the first shock absorption member in the shock-receiving situation are provided.
