Feel free to look for an actual regulation that prevents ridged bumpers with shock absorbers. You will not find it and in fact many vehicles are sold that can have a 5MPH collision without significant harm.

The reasons for this is people can walk into solid objects at 5MPH without significant harm.

PS: Feel free to start with: 49 CFR Part 58
