A restraint assembly includes at least one strap, and a resilient member having two ends, one of which is coupled to the strap such that the resilient member is in line with the strap and provides a resilient link within the restraint assembly. The resilient member has a material discontinuity formed therein, the material discontinuity resulting in the resilient member displaying at least two load response profiles as the two ends of the resilient member are pulled away from one another.
