RLN100 - Drop Test Dummy

The General Duty 'Drop Test' Dummy

For Drop Testing of safetey harnesses. A tough polyester carcass with a polyester overall reinforced with polypropylene webbing. Plastic stiffeners internally from sholder to knee to make the dubby stiff.. Closed cell foam used to increase strength. Standard gum boots. Not designed for general rescue training. 

The flexible inner core is weighted to human proportions using 2Kg packets of 5-10 mm crushed, washed stone aggregate. The weight packets are then sewn into a nylon inner, with all these body parts (arms, legs, chest etc) tied to the outer carcass using polypropylene rope. This method of construction prevents 'slumping' of the weight pouches and allows the dummy to maintain it's shape when in use.These inner components are separated and padded using 25mm polyurethane foam contained in nylon liners which results in a dummy with the life-like feel of a real casualty.  High density polypropylene webbing provides extra strength and durability, especially at the high stress points.
