It is crash-test-dummy Ed's first day on the job. He (and his 50-kg mass) gets to try out the new 1200-kg Porsche 911. Lucky Ed! He has to drive it into a brick wall. Unlucky Ed! But it's his job so?

Ed's role as a crash-test dummy is crucial for safety testing, as he represents the human body during impact simulations. When the 1200-kg Porsche 911 collides with a brick wall, the energy from the crash will be absorbed by both the car and Ed, allowing engineers to assess how well the vehicle protects its occupants. The data collected from this test will help improve vehicle design and safety features, ultimately benefiting drivers and passengers in real-world scenariOS. Despite the unfortunate circumstances, Ed's contribution is invaluable to automotive safety advancements.
