A generally vertical pillar extends between a floor and a ceiling of a vehicle chassis and carries a seat. A damper is secured between an attachment point on the pillar and an attachment point vertically offset therefrom on the vehicle chassis. This damper comprises a plurality of C-shaped springs each attached at one of the attachment points to the pillar and extending therefrom at an angle of 45° relative to the pillar and an opposite end attached at the other attachment point to the chassis and extending therefrom at an angle of 45° relative to the pillar. The springs each are elastically deformable and form force absorbers that return to a starting shape after elastic deformation. Each C-shaped spring defines a gap open at an acute angle to the vertical and that varies in dimension on deformation of the respective spring.
