A first connector for connecting the energy absorbing device to a seat back of an aircraft seat and a second connector for connecting the energy absorbing device to a frame or reclining mechanism of the aircraft seat are engaged by a destructible member, the destructible member is configured to be destructed when a predetermined force is applied to move the first connector away from the second connector.
