A crash test dummy, or simply dummy, is a full-scale anthropomorphic test device (ATD) that simulates the dimensions, weight proportions and articulation of the human body during a traffic collision. Dummies are used by researchers, automobile and aircraft manufacturers to predict the injuries a person might sustain in a crash. [1]
Meet NHTSA’s family of crash test dummies currently in service. The diverse group of dummies helps us understand and measure the human body’s movement during a crash, and see how it fares with various vehicle safety features.
Crash test dummies simulate human response to impacts, accelerations, deflections, forces and moments of inertia generated during a crash. Each dummy is designed to model the form, weight and articulation of a human body.
The WorldSID dummy is used specifically in tests that represent car-to-car and car-to-narrow-object side impacts. The dummy can be impacted on both sides to represent both left- and right-hand drive vehicles and can measure head, neck, chest abdomen and pelvic loads.
Our iconic crash test dummies are used by nearly every car manufacturer and regulatory safety group worldwide to engineer vehicle designs that protect occupants in a collision. Our products are designed to provide precision data without fail, time and time again.
Early crash test dummies were very crude and had a simple purpose — to help engineers and researchers verify the effectiveness of restraints or safety belts. Before GM developed Hybrid I in 1968, dummy manufacturers had no consistent methods to produce the devices.

Crash Test Dummies are a Canadian rock band from Winnipeg, Manitoba. Anchored by Brad Roberts (vocals, guitar) and his distinctive bass-baritone voice, the other band members have fluctuated over the years.
Crash test dummies are used to simulate vehicle collisions and collect data on the effects of crashes on the human body to develop effective vehicle safety systems. Crash test dummies were first used in 1949 for testing pilot restraint and ejection systems for airplanes.
