The Australian Commission on the road accidents, which was tired of fighting drinking and inattentive drivers, embodied an interesting project. (website)

Instead of intimidating motorists by photographs of bloody corpses and fascinated cars, the officials resorted to the help of doctors and demonstrated to their compatriots, as a person would look like, in contrast to all of us, an accident would be almost not terrible.

It's no secret that the human body is quite delicate, and the collision of the car at high speed with any solid obstacle often leads to the death of the driver and passenger in the front seat. However, you have never thought, how do you need to possess? Australian traumatologists, surgeons and other doctors were calculated for several months, as such an individual would look, after which the sculptor of Patricia Piccinini created a model of a man invulnerable to road accidents named Graham.

Despite the fact that he looks in our eyes a terrible freak, his body is ideal for driving the car. In a terrible car accident that would kill any residents of the Earth, even the strongest and hardy, Graham would easily survive. Specialists from Australia report that each of us must compare themselves with this mutant and realize how our bodies are fragile and vulnerable on roads with a lively movement.

Invulnerable to road accidents man

Graham is completely devoid of neck and has a massive head like a real helmet. She is able to take on himself and absorb all blows. The skull of the hypothetical earthman has so thick walls that such a driver will not suffer, even if with a huge force he heads his head about the windshield. The mutant brain, among other things, is also protected by an abundant amount of bundles and spinal fluid. In the event of a collision, all this will easily keep the head body of the central nervous system of a man. Graham's earragments, as you see in the photo, do not go beyond the head, and the devoid of the cartilage nose has small sizes - just so as not to suffer at the accident.

On the torso mutant there are bags with fat, protecting his ribs from fractures, while graham chest itself is extremely powerful due to which his heart is securely protected. The driver's chest reminds the armored vest with a multitude of airbags that reduce the movement forward pulse.

Experts suggest that over time, if the road transport does not undergo significant changes, a person can actually evolve to a certain extent, borrowing such protection, and therefore, and the body ugly from our point of view. For example, aliens, more adapted to life on their planets, we also seem urodes, especially reptiloids. Well, as for the modern appearance of a person, it remains only to be liable and cautious drivers who are completely defenseless before the road catastrophe, even despite all the means of protection that help survive or not to stay far from everyone ...

Mannequin in the photo is called Graham. He was created by the Australian artist Patricia Piccinini with the participation of road safety specialists of the University of Monasha and Traumatologists of the Royal Hospital Melbourne. Graham reminds that the sense of security in the car is actually deceptive, and the human body even with insignificant at first sight of the accident, needs additional protection.

"To survive on the roads, you should look like it (mannequin, approx. Ed.)," Graham project initiators from the Australian Commission of Road Traffic Accidents (TAC) reported. As the developers of the mannequin explained, the development of technology was significantly ahead of the evolution of the human body, as a result of which people were not able to withstand without injuries of the load even with accidents at low speeds.

Gramma specially made a big head so that there is more spinal fluid around the brain to compensate for the blow strength when the safety pillow or other components of the car. Moreover, the mannequin has their own analogues of airbags between ribs. In addition, Graham has thick wear-resistant skin, there is no neck, for additional protection of the head of the edge, the ribs are extended to the skull itself, and the knee joints are strung up in both directions. In addition, the elongated feet allow such a person to jump from the car in case of danger further than usual.

Maneken Graham is exhibited in the National Gallery of Victoria (Melbourne, Australia). Images with additional information are also posted on

Australian scientists wondered the idea of \u200b\u200bcreating an ideal model of a person who could survive even in the most terrible car accident. To remain unharmed person, a big head will need in the absence of a neck and a wide chest. In addition, the model has thick skin and powerful legs with knees beating in both directions. For an ordinary person to obtain serious injuries, even speeds at 25 - 30 km / h, and the most danger is subject to head and brain.

"Meet the Graham" - so called our wonderful special project Australian researchers of passive transport safety.
On the creation of Graham, this model was named, the sculptor Patricia Piccinini, a surgeon traumatologist Christian Kinfield and an expert in investigating an autocata crash David Logan worked.

Based on statistical data on an accident, with the help of doctors and scientists from the University, the monastery created a monstrous modification of a person with a body, which is not scary of any kind of accidents, with the exception of quite exotic and destructive.

A huge head hides a standard brain floating in a thick skull-aquarium with a spinal fluid that shocks the blows. Flat, like Cotes-exotions, a snap makes almost impossible damage to the eyes and nose, the ears are also indulge in the skull, and the entire skin is tightly naked.

The neck is one of the most vulnerable sections of a man's skeleton, so the creators of Graham this item was generally stopped, the head literally grows into the shoulders and is equipped with ring ribs that give additional protection.

Graham carcass is also surrounded by a dense fatty layer, and similar to the nipples of the bulge - nothing more than drainage valves operating on the principle of airbag and discouraging the outwards of the filling.

The hands resistant to the ugly injury is quite human, but covered, like the whole body, thicker skin, but the lower limbs are modified: new "parts" appeared in the knee joints, which allow the legs to be laughed in different directions and not be afraid of dislocation. The feet are extended to endow the Graham to the Kangaroo jump - in the status of a pedestrian, he will almost always have time to bounce from the cars impending on him, if, of course, it will notice her in general.

One of the goals of this project is to show how the real human body is vulnerable, and encourage automakers to pay more attention to the active and passive safety of your products.

The Australian Transport Account Commission (TAS) launched a new road safety project. In his framework, the experts simulated a person who evolved to survive in car accidents, the press service of the department reports.

Graham's name (Graham) created invited TAS traumatologist Melbourne Royal Hospital Christian Kenfield (Christian Kenfield), Motion Safety Specialist from University Monasha David Logan (David Logan) and famous artist Patrishia Piccinini (Patricia Piccinini). A realistic interactive sculpture shows what anatomical features a person should have to survive with a high probability to survive in a modern car accident.

The crews focused on the eight critical departments of the body: the brain, skull, face, neck, chest, skin, knees and footsteps. Thus, the brain Graham does not differ from the usual, but between it and an enlarged skull is larger than the shockproof cerebrospinal fluid, additional ligaments help keep the organ in place in case of injury. The skull resembles a helmet, effectively absorbing strikes and not carrying them to the brain.

Graham face flat, nose and ears are recessed into the surrounding fabrics. Under the skin of the face there are abundant sediments of fatty fiber, absorbing blows and protecting facial bones. The neck is practically absent - the ribs continue to the very top of the spine, supporting the skull and the prevention of the neck separation of the spinal cord from damage with sharp involuntary head movements that occur with a sudden stop of the car.

The breast cell of the model is increased and barrel, the ribs are thickened. Between the ribs are extensive formations that perform the role of airbags. The skin is thickened and sealed, especially in the field of hands, which a person instinctively closes when an accident. Graham knees are reinforced with additional ligaments, and the joint allows them to bend in any direction, which sharply reduces the risk of fractures. At the bottom of the leg there is an additional joint, resembling a second heel - such a device both increases mobility, protecting against fractures, and allows you to sharply jump from the traveling vehicle.

According to the plan of the TAS, the significant differences between Graham from a real person should clearly demonstrate how anatomically not prepared for modern accidents. "Cars have evolved much faster than people, and Graham helps us understand why it is necessary to improve each component of road systems to protect us from our own mistakes," explained the executive director of TAS Joe Calafiore (Joe Calafiore).

Australian scientists created a prototype of a person able to survive after anyone and at the same time remain unharmed.

The name of this "man" was given "sin". This exhibit is also a project to prevent accidents. Scientists tried to show motorists as far as they are fragile and defenseless before car accident and death.

Sculptor worked together with a traumatologist surgeon and expert on car accidents.

The main criterion for selecting an external image was not aesthetic beauty, but stability and ability to survive. This is evidenced by the sculpture itself.

Graham has a wide face with a drawn nose and ears. The lack of neck is necessary in order to avoid its fracture and injury from sharp blows and head turns. To protect the ribs, it is provided for additional nipples, and powerful breasts will prevent damage to the heart and internal organs. The legs of the prototype are very strong and stable, they will not break even after the car is hitting. Fat leather will protect from Absadin and wounds when falling.

According to the designers, Graham will be able to keep in the seat of the car even in those moments when a simple person is not capable of it.

This sculpture was placed in the local Museum of the city of Victoria and created an interactive platform in order to be able to come closer to everyone and see Monster.
