A door assembly 32 includes a door 34 and a pusher 36, the door defining a cavity 38. The pusher is fixed to the door in the cavity and the pusher contains a non-Newtonian fluid. The non-Newtonian fluid allows the pusher to distribute an impact force to an occupant in a manner that depends on a size of the occupant. The pusher may include a case or a case body 70 and lid 72 sealed to the body to define a pusher cavity 74. The door assembly may include a door outer 58 and a door trim 56 fixed to the door outer, defining the cavity therebetween. The pusher may be fixed to the door trim, integral with the door trim or attached to the door inner 54. The non-Newtonian fluid may be a dilatant fluid. Finally, the door assembly may be for a vehicle comprising a seat, a seat bottom and a seat back defining an occupant area between the seat bottom and seat back.
