Actually, rubber is not a good shock absorber, for it is an elastic material and does not store or dissipate much energy.
Air or other gas is the useful principle in car shock absorbers, where the lossy characteristics of air compression are used to absorb energy.
Forcing oil through a small hole is also used for the same purpose.
