The guys on Mythbuster's did this a while ago. Their crash dummy took a shit-kicking.

Very cute. I loved the old song (alluded to in other posts) and had just sought it out for fun; found your bit in YouTube's suggestions. As a Physics teacher, I want to use one of these in my classes... As a teacher who hears excuses, I want to use one of these in my classes...

Actually based on a joke/tale told by Gerard Hoffnung to students at Oxford Union in 1958. Your animation is great... but the recording is much funnier since all the graphic stuff is left to the imagination.
