A deformation device for a motor vehicle has two elements that can move together in the event of a collision and optionally locked. A locking device has a first centrifugal lever which is pivotably mounted about a first pivot axis located on the first element, a first torsion spring arranged about the first pivot axis and operatively connected to the first centrifugal lever, a first rolling surface and a first contact surface arranged distally to same, as well as a second centrifugal lever neighboring the first centrifugal lever and with a substantially identical design. In a low-speed crash, the two centrifugal levers each swivel about their pivot axes such that the two rolling surfaces are in contact with one another and the two contact surfaces each rest against a corresponding receiving surface on the second element. In an accident situation representing a pedestrian, the two centrifugal levers each swivel about the pivot axes such that the two rolling surfaces are in contact with one another, while the first contact surface and the second contact surface are at a distance from the second element.
