An energy-absorbing connection arrangement with a multitude of connectors for joining two components, such as a transverse member and a circular frame element, of an aircraft fuselage. Each connector comprises a headed shaft and the shafts reach through component boreholes. On the shaft ends facing away from the heads, counter-bearings are provided. At least one of the components comprises a fiber-reinforced plastic material. A head and/or counter-bearing of at least one connector rests against at least one underlay device. The underlay device is received in a guide groove in the first component, with the guide groove commencing in the region of the boreholes. The underlay device, upon exceeding a mechanical threshold load, is slidable away from the boreholes. Energy absorption takes place along a longitudinal center axis of the guide groove as a result of hole-bearing-stress failure and/or the shearing of the fiber-reinforced plastic material component.
