Meet Graham – the “only person designed to survive” a car crash.
The Transport Accident Commission (TAC) of Victoria, Australia was in charge of Graham’s creation. An artist worked with a trauma surgeon and a crash investigation expert to create “an interactive lifelike sculpture … designed with bodily features that might be present in humans if they had evolved to withstand the forces involved in crashes,” according to a news release.

This sculpture was created around a year ago and is made of silicon with real human hair. It took the artist around six months to build.
Graham has an enlarged skull, flattened face, and ribcage with “sacks” to function like an airbag.
TAC official created the sculpture to showcase the importance of creating safer roadways.
“Cars have evolved a lot faster than humans and Graham helps us understand why we need to improve every aspect of our roads system to protect ourselves from our own mistakes,” TAC chief executive Joe Calafiore said in a statement.
