A vehicle includes a frame, a bumper, and an impact absorber. The impact absorber extends from the frame to the bumper. The impact absorber has a sliding member and a receiving member. The receiving member defines an orifice and a portion of the sliding member is disposed within the orifice. The sliding member is configured to slide into the receiving member during impact events such that the receiving member yields and flares outward to absorb energy.
