Hybrid III family Crash test dummy

the original 50th percentile male hybrid iii s family expanded include 95th percentile male, 5th percentile female, , ten, six, , three-year-old child dummies.

hybrid iii, 50th percentile male dummy made first appearance in 1976, familiar crash test dummy, , family man. if stand upright, 175 cm (5 9 ) tall , have mass of 77 kg (170 lb). occupies driver s seat in insurance institute highway safety (iihs) 65 km/h (40 mph) offset frontal crash tests. joined big brother , 95th percentile hybrid iii, @ 188 cm (6 ft 2 in) , 100 kg (223 lb). ms. hybrid iii 5th percentile female dummy, @ diminutive 152 cm (5 ft) tall , 50 kg (110 lb). 3 hybrid iii child dummies represent ten-year-old, 21 kg (47 lb) six-year-old, , 15 kg (33 lb) three-year-old. child models recent additions crash test dummy family; because little hard data available on effects of accidents on children , such data difficult obtain, these models based in large part on estimates , approximations. primary benefit provided hybrid iii improved neck response in forward flexion , head rotation better simulates human.

the hybrid iii dummy three-, six- , ten-year olds has implications, , not provide same physical outcome human encounter frontal crash. found when testing three-year old hybrid iii dummy, showed frontal crashes cause cervical spine injuries. when using data real world, results did not match hybrid iii stimulation injuries. around this, thums created stands total human model of safety. model can relatable human body anatomically focusing on human spine upon impact. clinical testing , experiments more accurate dummy , more reliable case studies can implemented model. model based on male only, , mimics human tissues , organs. model accurate males in 50th percentile, , can not relate three-year olds when dealing neck , head injuries responsible 57 percent of car crash fatalities. instead, fe model can appropriately implemented criteria.
