A road safety organisation Australia has created a mock- of the perfect body needed to survive a car crash. Australia's Transport Accident Commission (TAC) has called its human-looking creation 'Graham'. TAC commissioned a sculpture Graham and released a video to educate road users road safety. Although Graham is humanesque, he is somewhat grotesque parts and resembles a character a horror movie. The BBC says: "He has a head shaped like a boulder, feet snarled like tree roots and a chest like a wrinkled battering ram." A spokesperson TAC said Graham was designed to highlight how frail and vulnerable the human body is when involved a vehicle collision the roads.

TAC commissioned celebrated artist Patricia Piccinini to create the artwork Graham. She collaborated with a leading trauma surgeon and a road crash investigation expert to get the right look and build Graham. She gave Graham a thick skull, a wider neck, an inflatable chest that acts like airbags, and hoof-like legs that allow Graham to jump of dangerous situations. TAC chief executive Joe Calafiore commented why his organisation commissioned Graham an educational tool. He said: "Cars have evolved a lot faster than humans and Graham helps us understand why we need to improve every aspect our roads system to protect ourselves our own mistakes."

Oh I just dont know where to begin
Though he says hell wait forever
Its now or never
But she keeps him hanging on
The silly champion
She says she cant go home
Without a chaperone

Accidents will happen
We only hit and run
He used to be your victim
Now youre not the only one

Accidents will happen
We only hit and run
I dont want to hear it
cause I know what Ive done

Theres so many fish in the sea
That only rise up in the sweat and smoke like mercury
But they keep you hanging on
They say youre so young
Your mind is made up but your mouth is undone

(chorus)

And its the damage that we do
And never know
Its the words that we dont say
That scare me so

Theres so many people to see
So many people you can check up on
And add to your collection
But they keep you hanging on
Until youre well hung
Your mouth is made up but your mind is undone

(chorus)

I know, I know, (repeat)
