most likely a typo in the source text; it should read "saavutetaan" as in "saavuttaa", v.tr.

Comment: "Thanks for identifying the typo, which was the source of my confusion. If anyone is looking at this page at a later date, please note that "achieve" would be a better translation of saavuttaa."

Finnish term (edited):
saavuttaa
achieve
In the context, saavutetaan is best translated as "is achieved", or "is brought about". The sentence might read: actual shock absorption is achieved by using pads that are more than thick enough to absorb it.
Note from asker:
| Yes, thanks, it was the typo that had confused me. Job has been delivered already, and I did use "achieve". |
