A shock absorber (6) for an aircraft landing gear (4) is disclosed. The shock absorber comprises a stop surface (44) arranged to limit extension of the shock absorber (6) and a crumple element (48) configured to deform in the event that the extension load on the stop surface (44) exceeds a predetermined threshold. The crumple element (48) may form part of the out-stop tube (46) of the shock absorber (6). Deformation of the crumple element (48) may be identified by measuring the length of the fully extending landing gear, through non-destructive testing or by measuring the change in conductance of the crumple element (48).
