    Abstract: An apparatus, system and method capable of providing a bumper capable of providing decreasing reversionary impact forces upon an impacting collider as the bumper is compressed. The apparatus, system and method may include at least a bumper cover; and a scissor mechanism housed within the bumper cover. The scissor mechanism may comprise a forward extension member proximal and having a parallel axis that is at least substantially parallel to a parallel tangential axis of the bumper cover; a rear extension member substantially parallel to the forward extension member, and distal from the flexible bumper; at least left and right long scissor members that are rotatably and slidably associated with respective slots in the forward extension member, and that, are rotatably associated with the rear extension member; and at least left and right short scissor members that are rotatably associated with the front extension member, and that are rotatably associated with a respective one of the left and right long scissor members.
