Padding slows the occupant hitting it down "slightly slower" that if the same occupant hit a non padded dash. (it reduces the G forces experienced, helping to prevent injury.)
The padding acts (to a much lesser degree) like a parachute acts to slow a person falling from the sky.
Also, a padded dash help to avoid the person hitting "sharp" parts of the dash.
Consider jumping onto a "bed of nails" and then jumping on to the same bed of nails with a mattress over the top of it.
Same effect.
