I came across the clip of various sorts of drop/crash/splash testing at the Landing and Impact Research Facility at NASA's Langley Research Center and something caught my eye. Does anyone know more about the crushable pyramidal structures at 1:37? Are they sacrificial legs for hard-landing spacecraft? Cheers, Matthew
