How Crash Cushions Can Save Lives During An Accident? | Crash Cushion Barrier Dubai, UAE

A crash cushion is also known as an impact attenuator, cowboy cushion, or crash attenuator. It is for protecting vehicles from damage when they meet with an accident and collide with a structure. Crash cushions can save the lives of people inside the vehicle. The crash cushions absorb kinetic energy and they can reduce the overall impact of collision and reduce the danger. Consult with MBM, for installing crash cushion barriers in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, UAE.


One of the main and most important reasons for the installation of crash cushions is to reduce the damage that can occur on highways where there is high traffic. They are usually placed in front of fixed structures near the highways like gore points and overpass supports, etc. Gore point is part of the highway exit where different roads diverge, it forms a shape of "V". For road construction projects temporary versions may be used.

Crash cushions can be used again and again, however, they also need to be checked and repaired or replaced after collisions.

There are different types of barrier systems that can be used as crash cushions. Sometimes water-filled barrels and similar objects can also be used as attenuators.

Crash attenuators can be categorized by the different methods used to dissipate kinetic energy:

1. Momentum transfer: Early impact attenuators used successive rows of barrels/modules that are filled with sand or water. Here, the momentum is transferred to the sand or water, thereby reducing the speed of the colliding vehicle.

2. Material deformation: Some other attenuators use crushable materials like different kinds of foam, that can create a crumple zone and thereby absorb the energy. Corrugates steel guard rail sections are flattened and used in some cases.

3. Friction: There are some attenuators that work by forcing a steel cable or strap through some angled tube or slot, that converts kinetic energy into heat energy.
