An axially extending crush section 10 for a vehicle 1 (fig 1) comprising a first row 21 of crush initiators 25 that are spaced axially to define a first folding wavelength 30 (fig 5) and a second row 22 of crush initiators 25 that are spaced axially to define a second folding wavelength 30 (fig 5). An internal web 15’ separates the first row 21 of crush initiators 25 and the second row 22 of crush initiators 25. The crush initiators 25 of the first row 21 are parallel to and axially offset from the crush initiators 25 of the second row 22, and the first and second folding wavelengths are approximately equal. There may also be a third row 23 of crush initiators 25 defining a third folding wavelength, with identical spacing to the first and/or second rows.
