4 +1 | 50th percentile male dummy |

50th percentile male dummy Explanation: NHTSA’s frontal tests are run at 35 m.p.h. (56 km/h) into a rigid barrier using a crash-test dummy optimized for a 50th-percentile male–about 172 lb. and 5 ft. 9 in. http://time.com/3617681/the-air-bag-blowout/ Assess the performance of the Holden Commodore air bag in a frontal barrier crash test with two unbelted, 50th percentile adult male H-III dummies. http://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.ircobi.org/wordpress/... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2021-01-21 13:58:26 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Strictly speaking there should be a hyphen in 50th-percentile. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2021-01-21 14:37:27 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Depending on the context, it's probably better to leave out "dummy". I assumed this was about a crash-test rating, but it may not be. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 hrs (2021-01-21 18:37:38 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- And in case it's not obvious, the 50th percentile is the median, ie an average-sized man. |
