    Default As people get heavier, crash-test dummies gain weight


    Your average crash-test dummy, it seems, weighs 167 pounds. But a lot of Americans, as you might have noticed, weigh considerably more than that. That disparity raises safety issues rather than health issues, reports UPI, and there's a sobering statistic to back that up, as per CNN: "Obese people are 78% more likely to die in a crash," says Chris O'Connor, CEO of Humanetics, which is planet Earth's No. 1 dummy manufacturer.

    With her expression and noticeably, abundant "attributes", one could come to the conclusion that they've now developed some sort of newfangled "air bags"

    Heavier crash test dummies would give new meaning to the term "lead foot".
