Seeing that this is the time for us to be getting our drivers licences, we have been delving into the topic \u201cStop It or Cop It\u201d in Year 10 PDHPE, where we have been looking into the complexities of Road Safety and Driving Responsibilities. During this topic, we were introduced to an intriguing lifelike sculpture called \u2018Graham\u2019 as part of the campaign Project Graham. Graham\u2019s otherworldly features make for a person who would be invincible to motor vehicle crashes. He was created to emphasise the dangers of car accidents, which is especially relevant today, as modern vehicles reach higher speeds and our bodies don\u2019t have the physiology to absorb the impact when things go wrong.<\/p>\n

The sculpture was created by a road safety engineer, a trauma surgeon from the Royal Melbourne Hospital, and a local Australian artist, to help people really understand how vulnerable our bodies are in accidents. With how fast and high-tech modern cars are getting, our bodies just aren\u2019t made to handle that kind of force. As we dove into his exaggerated features, we were extremely curious about his bizarre, crash-proof body. Seeing Graham for the first time was certainly not what we expected, really making us stop and think about the risks we take every time we get into a car, and how important it is to take road safety seriously \u2013 especially as we start learning to drive ourselves. Graham reminds us that our bodies aren\u2019t built for crashes \u2014 they\u2019re built for living. Staying safe on the road isn\u2019t just a rule, it\u2019s a responsibility.<\/p>\n
