Engineering Question

I want to create a crush zone on a round Al tube so it crushes straight. I've seen crush zones on square tube that are created with small dents or cut-outs at each corner on the square plane.

I want to replace the bumper shocks on impact bumper cars so tube is about 12 inches long, 2 inches in diameter and I would like to use 1/8" wall thickness.

I was thinking of drilling holes in a honeycomb pattern for about 3 inches.

Any thoughts?
