riggerrob 643 #2 February 2, 2006 Metal test-drop dummies work. Start with really thick, welded steel to a minimum weight of 170 pounds (about 80 kilograms), then pour lead into the legs until it weighs enough (maybe 340 pounds, about 150 kilograms) for that particular test. Also ask your welder to include padded, internal compartments for electronic measuring devices. Also ask your welder to weld extra rings on the head, arms, legs, etc. so that you can easily attach (via carbiners) lifting handles that enable more than one guy to help carry the dummy off the dropzone.

When I worked for AERO I designed and had built a metal test dummy. It could be weighted up from 150 lb. to over 400 lb. I took them down to a body shop and had them coated with "Rhino Lining”. The same stuff the coat P/U truck beds. They worked great. I have the original drawing around somewhere. Even sold 2 of them to a certain Navy group that works on the east coast.
