article imageWhen Magna's crash test dummies go on a road trip to local schools in Germany, the first question from children is usually "can they speak?" Some of the dummies are so lifelike that "touching their hand feels like touching a human hand," explains Stephan Baumann, who runs the Magna clinic where dummies go for checkups. That means having their instrumentation tested, certified and once a year recalibrated after undergoing crash tests - usually 30-100 a year depending on the dummy type.
