Anthropomorphic Test Device, crash test dummies to the masses, are heroes.
They routinely suffer indignities, on our behalf, that would kill us softies. Quote:

I find it hilarious that the British test dummy baby has a butt crack.

Naked crash dummies. Is that for dummy porn?

Here's footage on crash test dummies for the Segway. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0y4B-I4pMk (And they're actually not naked, sorry to disappoint.)

1) note how pale the Brits are
2) Note that they need stickers on their heads so the local population doesn't waste time on small talk with them

Speaking of Segway crashes check this one. About 3/4th thru some nasty ones caught on film. Big lesson. Never let the wheel of a Segway hit the wheel of another one. Bad..

Yah, saw that too. And I noticed that someone found it necessary for the female American dummy to have nipples. I mean... isn't the general shape of the chest enough of a clue or are they worried about nipple injuries as well? And if they are... how come the male dummy doesn't have a Dummy? I'm sure those things can get plenty hurt in a crash
