Abstract: This invention relates to an energy absorbing member (3) for a load carrying, load pulling, load pushing or load stopping assembly or the like, wherein said energy absorbing member (3) includes first and second attachment devices (30, 31) and a shaped body member (35) extending in a longitudinal direction (C) between said first and second attachment devices (30, 31) arranged to enable a predetermined relative elongation (?L) between said first and second attachment devices (30, 31) parallelly with said longitudinal direction (C) upon simultaneous absorption of energy reducing the risk of hazard in connection with sudden deceleration, wherein said absorbing member (3) includes a stabilizing control arrangement (36) that extends along said shaped body member (35) arranged to stabilize the said shaped body (35) in relation to forces not exceeding a first force level (F1) hindering relative movement between said attachment devices (30, 31) in at least one dimension.

Abstract: A security arrangement for a load carrying assembly includes a carrier plate and an attachment plate. The plates are arranged with interconnected guiding members arranged to enable relative movement of the carrier plate in a longitudinal direction of the roof rack assembly. The carrier plate further includes one first attachment device arranged to enable attachment of the security arrangement to a roof box. The attachment plate includes one second attachment device arranged to enable attachment of the security arrangement to a roof rack assembly and an energy absorbing member is arranged between the two plates and attached to the two plates by first and second attachment members arranged to enable relative movement between the carrier plate and the attachment plate in the longitudinal direction upon simultaneous absorption of energy to minimize the risk of hazard in connection with a vehicle suddenly decelerating.
