Driving on roads is still inarguably a dangerous feat. Though the road vehicles have evolved to provide us a safer driving experience but still it is inefficient to protect us completely from the accidents. Have you ever imagined of evolving ourselves instead our cars to be safer??
Graham, who is the result of a experimental collaboration between artist Patricia picanni, trauma surgeon Christian kenfield and collision expert David Logan. Graham is the only person experimentally designed to survive road accidents. Graham is not a living beings and there are at this point no plans to make like him one.
So how would a human look like if they were built in order to survive on the roads. A normal human beings body is not equipped to handle the forces in common crash scenarios so we need certain modifications. The most significant part of our body for injury is our head. So First; His skull was designed much,much larger than the average size. Our brain is surrounded by a skull and floats in cerebrospinal fluid, it is designed in a way to easily suffer a fracture and spread the force of am impact. Graham's brain was designed to be same as ours, but was encased in a better helmet. It is surrounded by more fluid and his skull has essentially crumple zones allowing him to survive a much stronger impact than what a normal human being can bear.
Graham's face is super flat and is covered in fatty tissue to protect his nose, his sinuses and ears from the impact of steering wheels and breaking glasses. After the brain the most vulnerable part of our body for injury is our neck . During a crash our neck is incapable of preventing our head from jolting forward. So Graham is designed without a neck. As a result his ribs go all the way upto the skull. His ribcage is filled with organic airbags which excretes a fluid upon impact, providing an extra layer of protection as compared to our musculoskeletal structure. Graham's skin is also thicker and tougher than ours in order to reduce the likelihood of abrasion. Graham has an extra joint in his feet that allows him to execute a super jump similar to that of a grasshopper or like the hulk in the marvel movies.
We as a normal human beings are actually too vulnerable to road accidents and in order to survive that we need to evolve into something like Graham. So we should drive responsibly in order to avoid such accidents.
