Australia's Transport Accounts Commission (TAS) launched a new security project road. In his framework, the experts simulated a person who evolved to survive in car accidents, the press service of the department reports.
Graham's name (Graham) created invited TAS traumatologist Melbourne Royal Hospital Christian Kenfield (Christian Kenfield), Motion Safety Specialist from University Monasha David Logan (David Logan) and famous artist Patrishia Piccinini (Patricia Piccinini). A realistic interactive sculpture shows what anatomical features a person should have to survive with a high probability to survive in a modern car accident.
The crews focused on the eight critical departments of the body: the brain, skull, face, neck, chest, skin, knees and footsteps. Thus, the brain Graham does not differ from the usual, but between it and an enlarged skull is larger than the shockproof cerebrospinal fluid, additional ligaments help keep the organ in place in case of injury. The skull resembles a helmet, effectively absorbing strikes and not carrying them to the brain.
Graham face flat, nose and ears are recessed into the surrounding fabrics. Under the skin of the face there are abundant sediments of fatty fiber, absorbing blows and protecting facial bones. The neck is practically absent - the ribs continue to the very top of the spine, supporting the skull and the prevention of the neck separation of the spinal cord from damage with sharp involuntary head movements that occur with a sudden stop of the car.
The breast cell of the model is increased and barrel, the ribs are thickened. Between the ribs are extensive formations that perform the role of airbags. The skin is thickened and sealed, especially in the field of hands, which a person instinctively closes when an accident. Graham knees are reinforced with additional ligaments, and the joint allows them to bend in any direction, which sharply reduces the risk of fractures. At the bottom of the leg there is an additional joint, resembling a second heel - such a device both increases mobility, protecting against fractures, and allows you to sharply jump from the traveling vehicle.
According to the plan of the TAS, the significant differences between Graham from a real person should clearly demonstrate how anatomically not prepared for modern accidents. "Cars evolved much faster than people, and Graham helps us understand why it is necessary to improve each component road SystemsTo protect us from your own mistakes, "explained the executive director of TAS Joe Calafiore (Joe Calafiore).
Australian scientists have created a mutant man who could survive in a traffic accident.
Thus, scientists decided to show how much human bodies are imperfect in the event of an accident.
Mutant called Graham. At first glance, he may seem very strange, perhaps even terrible, but his body is completely in order to accurately survive in the accident. The mutant shows how people could look if they were built for survival on roads with intensive movement.
After several months of research together with leading surgeons and traumatologists, Graham was created by the artist Piccinini.
Scientists have created an invulnerable to human accident.

The head of the mutant is designed to absorb and take on all blows, it's a kind of helmet. The structure of its skull is designed so that in the event of an accident he has not suffered from hitting windshield. Grain Graham is also protected much better. A large skull contains many spinal fluids and ligaments, it fastens the brain when the collision occurs. To help avoid injury, his nose is less, the ears are protected. The adipose tissue is also much more, it will help absorb energy when hitting and saving bones.
His breast is designed as armored vest. "Nipples-bags" act as airbags and are placed between each of the Graham ribs. When hitting these pillows absorb strength and reduce its pulse forward. Strong, hoof-shaped legs with additional joints allow it to jump and quickly "spring".

"Meet the Graham" - so called our wonderful special project Australian researchers of passive transport safety. Based on statistical data on an accident, with the help of doctors and scientists from the University, the monastery created a monstrous modification of a person with a body, which is not scary of any kind of accidents, with the exception of quite exotic and destructive.
A huge head hides a standard brain floating in a thick skull-aquarium with a spinal fluid that shocks the blows. Flat, like Cotes-exotions, a snap makes almost impossible damage to the eyes and nose, the ears are also indulge in the skull, and the entire skin is tightly naked.
The neck is one of the most vulnerable sections of a man's skeleton, so the creators of Graham this item was generally stopped, the head literally grows into the shoulders and is equipped with ring ribs that give additional protection.
Graham carcass is also surrounded by a dense fatty layer, and similar to the nipples of the bulge - nothing more than drainage valves operating on the principle of airbag and discouraging the outwards of the filling.
The hands resistant to the ugly injury is quite human, but covered, like the whole body, thicker skin, but the lower limbs are modified: new "parts" appeared in the knee joints, which allow the legs to be laughed in different directions and not be afraid of dislocation. The feet are extended to endow the Graham to the Kangaroo jump - in the status of a pedestrian, he will almost always have time to bounce from the cars impending on him, if, of course, it will notice her in general.
One of the goals of this project is to show how the real human body is vulnerable, and encourage automakers to pay more attention to the active and passive safety of their products.
It is possible to get acquainted with Graham in more detail and you can dig in his gutters on the official website of the project.
- In May, Google patented a unique pedestrian protection system from cars. With accidents, they will stick to the hood!

Australian scientists wondered the idea of \u200b\u200bcreating an ideal model of a person who could survive even in the most terrible car accident. To remain unharmed person, a big head will need in the absence of a neck and a wide chest. In addition, the model has thick skin and powerful legs with knees beating in both directions. For an ordinary person to obtain serious injuries, even speeds at 25 - 30 km / h, and the most danger is subject to head and brain.
"Meet the Graham" - so called our wonderful special project Australian researchers of passive transport safety.
On the creation of Graham, this model was named, the sculptor Patricia Piccinini, a surgeon traumatologist Christian Kinfield and an expert in investigating an autocata crash David Logan worked.
