test dummy
Impact simulation figure
A test dummy is a human-shaped model used to measure the effects of impacts, crashes, or other forces—most famously in automobile safety testing.
The dummies are equipped with sensors to record what would happen to a human body.
Figuratively, calling someone a test dummy suggests they're being used as an unwitting subject for experimentation or taking risks others won't.
