An energy absorbing fitting is constructed to absorb tension, shear and compression loads at a joint between two composite material beams of a composite material frame. The fitting is constructed with a band of composite material having an inverted U-shape, a panel of composite material having a U-shaped cross-section configuration that is assembled into the inverted U-shaped configuration of the band, and a sheet of composite material having an inverted L-shape configuration that is secured to the band and to the panel. The fitting is positioned at the intersection of the beams and is secured to the joint between the beams, thereby reinforcing the joint against tension, shear and compression loads.
