This is Mr.Graham. This man can survive any type of road traffic accident without any serious injuries. But the fact is he is not really a human being!
Graham was created as part of a new Australian road safety campaign by the Transport Accident Commission (TAC). He was designed by sculptor Patricia Piccinini, a leading trauma surgeon, and a road safety engineer, who modified him based on their own knowledge of traffic accidents.
As you can see, Graham doesn’t have a neck because these snap easily in car accidents. He also has a flat, fleshy face to protect his ears and nose. And if you’re wondering about all those extra nipples, they’re to protect his ribs like a natural set of airbags.
Actually this is a model to make us know that how much structural change our body has to adapt to withstand a road traffic accident.
