Could An Obese Crash Test Dummy Save Your Life?

Should dummy's waistlines increase because ours do?

Are obese dummies the key to reducing deaths on the road? Studies show that overweight people are
78% more likely to die in a vehicle crash. Why? Because cars are made for people who are in the "suggested" weight range. That means a car "fits" an obese person differently, and doesn't necessarily protect an overweight person the way it's built to protect a regular size person.

The answer? An obese crash test dummy, according to the company that makes the majority of dummies.
