I recall from the wonderful book "Stiff" by Mary Roach that she had a whole chapter about the use of cadavers in crash simulations. Frankly, I expect that some testing is done with an actual body. I'm just glad they use the dead. Yeah, I was surprised not by the reports, but that anyone found this noteworthy.

When I'm dead, I only hope my corpse can be used for something half as useful. While it may be distasteful to some, I’m glad such tests are done.
