Engineer Jem Stansfield took this sideways look at a science icon. He explored how sixty-five years of dummy evolution have mirrored car safety improvements. A heady mix of archive footage, high-speed crash film, survivor testimony and quirky dummy antics guaranteed to make you smile, laugh, gasp and wince all at once! Shot in crash labs in Sweden, US & UK, we discovered the engineering innovations that keep us safe on the road.
