Ballast dummy for amusement rides load tests

The dummy is hollow in order to be filled with water and be able to simulate different masses, with one filling hole and two holes for discharge.

The material is a plastic polymer that has a minimum elastic deformation, to ensure at the same time the necessary mechanical strength and adaptability to the most varied conformations of seats and roll-bars. When mounted, the dummy resembles a human silhouette with the right proportion.

The fully loaded mass is over 75 kg (mod. L75) or 85 kg (mod. L75). The weight distribution was studied on real human ergonomics and the shape was designed to fit the seats of the major amusement rides manufacturers. The dummy has a good impact resistance and environmental ageing. It is made with totally recyclable material.
