i watched a documentary on the history of the crash test dummy...
the used to use bodies from the morge wrapped head to toe like a mummy... to test car crash impact... they showed footage of a dead kid in the seat, going through a crash test.
that wasn't the worst thing either...
What was the worst thing!? Send me a message if its that bad! I'm intruigued... but yes, they did use dead bodies as crash test dummies.
Did you know that in order for a van or car to get a 5-star rating, after the impact of the crash the dummies chest has to be compressed by at least 2 inches? AT LEAST! This is where all your vital organs are... but the seat belt and the air bag help alleviate this pressure. So, no worries. lol
Uhm...
I hate being caught in the rain. :angry:
