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 ]

Out of position (OOP), in crash testing and car accident medical literature, indicates a passenger position which is not the normal upright and forward-facing position. [1] For example, a common case observed in crashes is the position of an occupant when reaching for the car radio , [ 2 ] or panic braking in unbelted passengers. [ 3 ]

Lawrence Patrick (1920 – April 30, 2006 [1]) may well be considered one of the fathers of the crash test dummy.Between 1960 and 1975, while a biomechanics professor at Detroit's Wayne State University, Patrick described his work by saying "I was a human crash-test dummy". [2]
The driver and passenger front airbag modules, after having been deployed, in a Peugeot 306. An airbag is a vehicle occupant-restraint system using a bag designed to inflate in milliseconds during a collision and then deflate afterwards. [1] It consists of an airbag cushion, a flexible fabric bag, an inflation module, and an impact sensor.
