Shock-reducing barrier (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

buffer

(Other definitions for buffer that I've seen before include "Silly old man" , "Cushion" , "It lessons the force of an impact, something in between" , "Thing or structure that lessens effect of impact" , "Shock absorber - ineffectual fellow" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
