The invention relates to an impact attenuator for vehicles, including an energy absorbing device (8) for decelerating forces, comprising a housing, at least two pins (13) arranged in the housing which are arranged in parallel to each other in the housing, as well as a metallic, elongated draw element (14), which can be positioned within the housing such that it extends between and in contact with the pins, wherein the pins and the draw element are positioned such that a change of direction appears on the draw element when passing by each pin such that at mutual moving of the draw element and the housing in relation to each other, the movement is decelerated due to deformation of the draw element at passage of each pin. The pins (13) and the draw element (14) are positioned such that the draw element obtains a change of direction of at least 90° when passing at least two of the pins. The impact attenuator comprises a beam (3) and a collision catcher (9), which is connected to the beam and displaceable along its outer side, wherein one of the energy absorbing device (8) or the draw element (14) is connected to the collision catcher and displaceable together with it, while the other of these is fixedly connected to the ground or a fixed structure such that at a possible collision with the collision catcher, this is decelerated due to the mutual movement between the energy absorbing device and the draw element.
