i read this somewhere and thought is it true
Answer:
Not in the UK,ther is a firm that builds them for research with various types from simple foam dummies to fully articulated types with costs for the more complex types going up to 拢10,000 each.If real bodies are used it would be in either Chine ,Russia or similar countries...
Ha ha ! that would be cool. But no I am afraid it is not true.
your talking about a "cadaver"(dead body donated for research) they use to use them in the 60`s,,,,they then moved on to live pigs as they have similar organs to humans
They use dead bodies for testing in the Netherlands. They're probably not the recently deceased though.
It is the absolute truth believe in the dummy, dummy.
ha - dont think so, but that would be mental
No not yet but they are going to use Illegal immigrants with any luck
Not normally (although there is some of that testing going on, mainly with the military.) Most "dummies" are just lumps that resemble humans with sensors built into them. They have the same mass (weight, and weight distribution) so they can easily duplicate the stress a human would go thru in a crash...
Ron.
No.
Don't be stupid. It would smell bad.
yes cadavers ( dead bodies ) have been used in crash-tests.
cringe cringe, they have also used babies %26 children when testing new child seats/restraints.
not something i really want to think about, but how else can they improve safety unless it's properly tested with a human body, behaving exactly like a human body would behave in a crash.
I really doubt it.
Human bodies are quite expensive compared to plastic materials with the same density as human flesh. Besides, why cover the face with a mask since it would deflect the impact? After all, these mannicans are used to calculate the amount of damage a human body experiences during an impact, and the head is the most important part. Finally, things could get quite messy since human bodies break apart into essentially a bunch of pieces of guts and raw meat. Polyurethane foam is much easier to sweep up, not to mention far more sanitary.
However, there is a place called the "body farm" which is used as a forensics lab. Human bodies are allowed to rot naturally in the woods to determine patterns of decay. This helps detectives determine the time of death and even the way a murder was commited.
They used to use dead bodies - not inside the dummies, just dead bodies. But they stopped because they found the damage to a dead corpse isn't the same as to a live body - same reason they don't use real corpses to test weapons any more, they use a block of special jelly. But crash test dummies have always been dummies made for the purpose
No they don't...they contain some pretty sophisticated measurement devices though. That is so they can determine speed, g-forces, and impact data.
no they dont, they just have limbs roughly around the flexibility stamina and bodys that would be as tough as ours to see the impact.
NO - I have no evidence to support your conjecture.
And it does sound ridiculous
