An energy absorbing restraint device for a clamp system is disclosed. The clamp system can include a releasable clamp having first and second ends, a securing mechanism connecting the ends and facilitating clamping and release of the clamp, and a restraint device for containing the clamp after release. An energy absorbing member supported about the restraint device can be configured to interface with the releasable clamp to dissipate the impact energy of the releasable clamp and decrease the magnitude of impact shock about the restraint device as created by the release of the clamp.
