A vehicle includes a windshield and a vehicle hood. The vehicle includes an energy absorber fixed to the vehicle hood. The energy absorber is releasable from a compressed position to an uncompressed position. The energy absorber is spaced from the windshield in the compressed position and abuts the windshield in the uncompressed position. The energy absorber includes a chamber that is sealed and vacuum pressurized in the compressed position. The vehicle includes an actuator configured to unseal the chamber to release the energy absorber from the compressed position to the uncompressed position.
