Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2010078988A2] The invention relates to a deformation element for the energy absorption in case of a vehicle collision, comprising a container (101) having at least one opening (114), wherein the container can be deformed for energy absorption. The deformation element further comprises a medium (112) that is arranged in the container and designed to flow out through the at least one opening in case of a deformation of the container, and a modulation unit (320) designed to control the outflow of the medium through the at least one opening depending on a setting signal.
