Rollcage protection

A protective padding for a bar of a rollcage of a vehicle comprising a honeycomb cellular structure, a base sheet layer, an outer sheet layer, and connecting means configured to connect the honeycomb cellular structure to said bar;

• wherein said honeycomb cellular structure comprises a plurality of interconnected open cells having longitudinal axes arranged so that, when the honeycomb cellular structure is connected to the bar, part of said longitudinal axes are oriented outwardly with respect to the bar and towards the interior of the rollcage;
• said open cells being configured to absorb energy by plastic deformation in response to a compressive load compressing the honeycomb cellular structure against the bar;
• wherein the base sheet layer is firmly attached through an adhesive to edges of said open cells of a base face of the honeycomb cellular structure facing an outer surface of the bar and the outer sheet layer is firmly attached through an adhesive to edges of said open cells of a top face of the honeycomb cellular structure that is opposite to the base face;
• wherein the base sheet layer covers entirely the base face of the honeycomb cellular structure;
• and,
• wherein said base sheet layer and/or said outer sheet layer is a polymeric woven or non-woven fabric, a polymeric film or a thin layer of a composite material firmly attached to front edges of said open cells through an adhesive.
