Crash test dummies are getting fatter....

The mannequins in the mock collisions are being plumped up from 15.5 to 19.5 stone as the current models are deemed too lightweight to protect porky Brits.

Research from the US suggests that the obese are 79 per cent more likely to be injured in a car accident than the average male and 28 per cent of adults in England are classed as obese.

The safety ratings system Euro NCAP are to announce the new safety measures this week.

It said: "Restraints optimised for the average-sized driver do not necessarily work equally well for shorter or taller drivers, or, for that matter, for obese or more vulnerable older drivers."

Matthew Avery, chief research strategy officer of Thatcham Research, explained that a heavy driver "will overwhelm the airbag, effectively ride through the airbag, and hit the steering wheel". This puts them at risk of internal injuries or death.

Holy Cow Batman....

Once there was this kid who

Got into an accident and couldn't come to school

But when he finally came back

His hair had turned from black into bright white

He said that it was from when

The cars had smashed so hard

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm......

It is likely to be the morbidly obese who would be at risk. I imagine the airbags/seatbelts are manufactured to withstand the average obese persons weight.

I saw a news report on this 4 days ago, what you have written is just a snapshot of the entire report.

There are now going to be several different crash test dummies whereas before there was an average female and average male as well as a few different children's ones.

There are now going to be several different heights and sizes for both genders including one very large.

No, they are going to separately incorporate a female dummy, as well as male and child sized ones. That said, the "average" female on bears zero resemblance to me.....
