To absorb some of the energy from a low impact accident.
To take the impact from a car accident, less forces on your body.
Bumbers have shock absorbers on them to absorb the shock of a minor impact (5mph) without causing significant damage to the car or the object hit. So, if you backed into a concrete wall while parking, the bumper would move with the shock absorbers - you might get a scuff on the paint; but if there was no shock absorber, the bumper or the mounting brackets would get bent (or the wall would break).

mabye they "absorb shock!" 2nd Answer: In actual fact, shock absorbers do not absorb shock: the springs do that. The "shock absorbers" dampen rebound (Bouncing). In a bike, the spring is built right around the dampener part.
The purpose of a heritage softail on a motorcycle is to absorb bumps on the road while riding. It is a type of rear suspension with spring loaded shock absorbers.
You have the cartilages in the joints, which act as mechanical shock absorbers. But then you have other functional shock absorbers. You have arches in the foot, which act as shock absorbers. Then when you jump down, you have that spring like movement of the legs. That act as a shock absorbers.
The Struts are the shock absorbers that include the spring. They are commonly referred to as McPherson Struts. Most cars now have Struts on the front and rear instead of the simple shock absorbers.
Look above the wheel and if it looks like a huge spring that its struts if it looks like a tube then it shock absorbers..If your unsure go to autozone.com and it will tell you
Their intended sole purpose is to absorb and damp spring oscillations or shock impulses leading to improved ride quality and vehicle handling.
Shock absorbers are a mechanical or hydraulic device designed to absorb and dampen shock impulses. Their intended sole purpose is to damp spring oscillations.
no, shock absorbers are in your knees and back. Some people have flat feet.
