A mount for a vehicle accessory such as a bull bar or side step includes an energy absorbing section that connects the accessory to the vehicle. It is defined by a series of slots in the energy absorbing section that, when subjected to a large loads as would be experienced in a collision, crumples to absorb energy instead of transmitting to the vehicle thereby reducing vehicle acceleration, damage to the vehicle and potential deployment of air bags.
