Beau Graham: what should be the human body to survive in a car accident?

Graham - modified people resistant to accidents

Man - is not very strong and resistant to external factors being. By changing their habitat by itself, people began to live in more comfortable conditions. But these changes are introduced into our lives a number of additional factors acting on the body unsuited to him.

For example, a car accident. When driving slowly even traveling on the road car, you can always become a victim of circumstances. The collision with the vehicle traveling forward, falling into a ravine, a collision with any obstacle - all that threatens the health and life of humans. bags, belts, head restraints - excellent inventions, they help in the most difficult situations. But what if there is no cushion, seat belt - there is none? Australian experts have decided to design the human body, which would be able to withstand the factors acting on the body during a car accident.

The authors of the project are not scientists, but by traffic accidents in Australia Commission (Transport Accident Commission, TAS). But in created in the framework of the Commission initiative team included scientists, doctors, specialists in computer graphics. Among the invited experts - trauma of the Royal Melbourne Hospital Canfield Christian (Christian Kenfield), Traffic Safety Specialist at David Logan Roads (David Logan), artist and designer, Patricia Piccinini (Patricia Piccinini). The project was named Graham. The same name was "man" whose body is designed to increase the probability of survival in an accident.



Participants of this work focused on eight of the most vulnerable areas of the human body. It is the brain, skull, face, neck, chest, skin, knees, legs (femur and tibia). After that, scientists have begun to modify individually each zone. His work project participants were accompanied by comments on each of the modified areas.

Thus, the skull of sustainable human accidents more and more dense human. It is filled with lots of cerebrospinal fluid, more here and ligaments. All this allows to protect the brain in collision with an obstacle at high speed. Graham's head is more like a motorcycle helmet covered with skin. In fact, that's right - the purpose of reinforced skull and surrounding tissues - to take the hit, reducing the impact of stroke on the brain. To assess the benefits structure Graham heads at this link.



When an accident is usually very suffering person. Bounce on the steering wheel, dashboard, windshield can turn a person's face to a pulp from the skin and bones. To avoid this, Graham's face is literally hidden in the massive skull. The nose is almost invisible, eye sitting deep in their sockets. Adipose tissue cushions the blow.



Breast modified human cell is increased. Ribs thickened. Between the ribs there are special cavities which act as miniature airbags. Shape of the chest - barrel. The skin of this creature is more dense, it serves as a reliable protection to the muscles. Especially dense it on your hands, because people usually covered hands from the blow. Details of the structure of the chest Graham - here



. In car accidents on the human body are often the load with which the body is able to handle not. The chest of human organs and there is very often damaged. The ribs are not too nice to absorb heavy blows, but at higher loads they simply break down. Seat belts are designed for you to weaken the force of impact, and reduce the stress level of the chest. Without belts, we would need additional protection.



Limb bones Graham sealed. On lap - additional ligament, the knee can bend in any direction. On the lower leg have an extra joint. With the help of people from the kind of Graham can quickly rebound from the approaching car (if it is a pedestrian) or withstand the load on the legs when hitting on something (if the motorist). The legs of this type was one of the representatives of an alien civilization, shown in "Independence Day." Jump there is a very good thing. In detail see Graham's feet here.



Legs - a particularly vulnerable part of the human body. If a strong stroke leg bones are broken. The level of damage depends on the size of the vehicle, its speed and direction of the collision shock. In many situations, foot injuries are very heavy, and the bones in the foot fuse is not very fast and not always correct.



Graham creators talk about their next project: «Graham - is an educational tool that will serve the community for many years, indicating the reasons for the creation of additional safety systems in the car, which protect us if something goes wrong." "We must accept the fact that people always make mistakes, but modern safety systems in vehicles could significantly reduce and mitigate negative factors acting on the person who has got in an accident. This increases the chances of survival. "

Graham now on display in the State Library of Victoria. he will be there until August 8 this year. After August 8 people, not afraid of road accidents will travel the whole of Australia, and then, possibly, other countries. Virtual model of Graham available here.
