In a bid to create awareness about road safety, the Transport Accident Commission in Victoria, Australia, has come up with an unique model of an evolved human that can survive a car crash. ‘Graham’ is unlike anything seen before and currently going viral all over the Internet.
The humanoid Graham has a gigantic head like a helmet, a flat face with a sunken nose and ears, no neck and air bags between each rib. The official website also offers a 360-degree look at Graham and his bone structure to help people understand what’s going on inside his body and how that would help in a crash situation.
Graham has been created jointly by artist Patricia Piccinini, leading trauma surgeon Christian Kenfield and road safety engineer Dr David Logan. Intended to be an educational tool for discussion, Graham hopes to drive home the message that our bodies are extremely vulnerable, especially “when speed and impact forces as low as 30km/h are at play.”
If there’s one thing that will teach everyone to drive safer and be more careful on the streets, this could be it.
Take a look at the video below to understand this concept better:
