A cable anchoring device for anchoring a shock absorbable multi-strand cable to a shock absorption structure is provided. The multi-strand cable includes a centre strand and a plurality of perimeter strands surrounding the centre strand. The cable anchoring device includes an anchor adapted to be anchored to the shock absorption structure, the anchor includes a top end and a bottom end opposite the top end, the anchor includes a bore extending therethrough from the top end to the bottom end, the bore includes a tapered portion having a broader end at the top end and a narrower end opposite the broader end, such that the bore is adapted to receive the multi-strand cable therethrough. The cable anchoring device further includes an insert adapted to be insertable into the tapered portion of the bore, the insert includes an inserting end and a free end opposite the inserting end, the insert includes a through hole extending from the inserting end to the free end, such that the free end is larger than the insert end, such that the through hole is adapted to receive the centre strand therethrough and such that the plurality of perimeter strands are disposable between the insert and the anchor. In addition, a shock absorption system for absorbing a shock on a structure is provided.

The present invention relates to a panel assembly adapted to absorb a blast effect. The panel assembly includes a panel adapted to be displaceably mounted to a frame, an extendable connecting assembly extending from the panel and adapted to be connectable to the frame so as to mount the panel to the frame, the extendable connecting assembly is adapted to extend in a longitudinal direction and in a controlled manner, such that the extendable connecting assembly includes, a controlling portion connected to the panel, and a connecting portion adapted to be connectable to the frame, the connecting portion glidably coupled to the controlling portion, such that the controlling portion is adapted to control the extension of the connecting portion from the controlling portion, such that the extendable connecting assembly is adapted to extend in a controlled manner to control the movement of the panel when receiving the blast effect.
