Mr. Cox has performed numerous vehicle-to-vehicle crash tests with human voluteers since 1995. Every once in a while, he will climb behind the wheel, place sensitive accelerometers on his body and perform a test.
The impact speed of the Ford Taurus was 31.6 mph and the change in velocity was -18.6 mph.
Mr. Cox emerged from the test unscathed, except for some superficial skin irritation on his forearms and face from interacting with the airbag.
