An articulating pedestrian dummy for testing crash avoidance technologies in a subject vehicle is disclosed that includes a human-shaped torso with a first and second leg socket. A leg plug is inserted into each of the leg sockets forming a first and second detachable connection. An upper leg is connected to each leg plug and can rotate relative to the leg plug. The torso, leg plugs and upper legs are comprised of foam or other soft, elastically deformable material. The first and second detachable connections are sufficiently yielding so as to detach leg sockets from the leg plugs upon impact with the subject vehicle and sufficiently yielding so as to impart minimal force to the subject vehicle upon impact, the force causing minimal to no damage to the subject vehicle.
