Some embodiments provide an attenuating cargo restraint device that mounts within the plan-view envelope of the cargo being restrained and does not extend outboard beyond an allowable amount of attenuation. The device includes a sliding head assembly 310 that can be movably disposed relative to a base 320. The head assembly includes a cavity covered by an upper housing 612 with the upper housing extending inboard and below a point at which the cargo is restrained. The base includes a complimentary cavity extending inboard from a distal end to a proximal end of the base. These cavities collectively form a housing that incorporates and accommodates the elastic element 650 of the device wholly within the innards of the device, below the point of engagement with cargo, and inboard from the point of engagement so as to locate the elastic element underneath and within the plan-view envelope of the cargo being restrained.
