The invention relates to a method and assembly for absorbing energy in an overload event, comprising an energy absorber (2) for reducing the load on a object (103) transported on a loading unit (100). The energy absorber (2) is suitable, in the case of a one-off overload event with an energy input that is sufficiently high that damage to the object would be possible or highly likely in the absence of the energy absorber, to absorb energy in order to reduce the load on the object resulting from the overload event by the energy absorption of the energy absorber (2). Measured values (62) relating to the current state of the loading unit (100) are acquired periodically by a sensor device (61). A control device (48) identifies an overload event (65) from the acquired measured values (62). A quantity is determined for a weight of the object (103) to be transported. A limit value (68) for a load on the object to be transported (103) is determined from the quantity for the weight. Following identification of the overload event (65), damping by the energy absorber (2) is controlled such that the load on the object (103) to be transported remains below the limit value (68).
