crash test dummies
Vehicle safety surrogates
Crash test dummies are human-shaped mannequins used in vehicle safety testing, designed to measure impact forces on the body during collisions.
They contain sensors that record data about what would happen to a real person.
Figuratively, anyone used to test something dangerous or untried: We felt like crash test dummies for the new policy.
