Cadavers used for your safety.

Since the 1930s, when researchers at Wayne State University first threw a body down an elevator shaft to see what kind of forces it could sustain, cadavers have been essential to making driving safer. Every part of a car touching on safety — from steering columns and laminated windshields to side-impact air bags — has science from cadaver tests making sure they work.
Note:
There are pictures in that link! However, these pictures are pre-crash pictures and the cadavers are wrapped to look like crash test dummies. So no blood or gore, but I thought I should warn before...
